If we are unable to see you in your home, we may offer a Telehealth consultation that still provides quality afterhours health care via video link
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.

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.
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].
