Accessible

Dial-A-Doctor provide Telehealth services via video link for those patients unable to receive a home visit consultation.

Some symptoms are no longer appropriate for a home visit. If you have COVID-19, displaying COVID-19 like or flu like symptoms, you may be offered a telehealth consultation. Dial-A-Doctor has dedicated GP’s to assist you and your family receive afterhours healthcare in the comfort of your own home via video consultation. Our telehealth service is fully bulk billed for eligible patients and we are able to provide prescriptions and medical certificates where required.

Eligibility

To ensure continuity of care, Telehealth services are only available to those patients that have an ongoing relationship with the attending doctor. This means you must have had a face to face appointment with your doctor in the preceding 12 months of the Telehealth appointment.

As a Medical Deputising Service, Dial-A-Doctor does not have ongoing relationships with our patients, and therefore, we have stricter eligibility on who we are able to offer Telehealth appointments to.

Am I eligible?

Dial-A-Doctor is able to provide Telehealth services for patients that are:

Under 12 months old

COVID-19 Positive

Have symptoms that require urgent assessment in the unsociable afterhours period [between 11pm – 7am].
