How it works

How it works

From your request to a plan with your GP, in four steps.

1

Request an appointment

Tell us a few details and what you’d like help with. It takes about two minutes, and you don’t need a referral.

2

Talk to your GP

By phone or video. Your GP goes through what’s been happening, your health history and what you’re hoping to sort out.

3

Tests if you need them

If blood tests would help, your GP gives you a pathology request for a collection centre near you.

4

Agree a plan

Your GP explains what they’ve found and agrees a plan with you, including any follow-up.

Your consult

What a consult covers

A proper conversation with a GP, not a tick-box form.

Your story

What’s been happening, how long for and how it’s affecting you.

Your health

Other conditions, medications, sleep, alcohol and family history.

The plan

What your GP thinks is going on, any tests, the options and their downsides.

Good to know

A few things up front

Your GP makes the call

A consultation doesn’t guarantee a prescription. Your GP recommends what’s clinically appropriate for you, and you decide together.

Not for emergencies

For chest pain, severe symptoms or anything urgent, call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Your information stays private

Consults are confidential, and your records are handled under Australian privacy law.

Questions

Common questions

Phone or video?

Your choice. Video helps for some things, such as hair loss, but phone is fine for most consults.

Where do I get blood tests?

At a pathology collection centre near you. Your GP gives you the request form.

How do prescriptions work?

If your GP prescribes something, it’s sent as an electronic prescription to your phone, and you take it to a pharmacy of your choice. A consultation doesn’t guarantee a prescription.

What about follow-up?

Your GP tells you when a review is needed. Ongoing care is part of treating most of these conditions safely.
