During telehealth appointments, prescribing medications is entirely up to the doctor’s judgement based on what’s best for you. However, our online doctors cannot prescribe certain medications, specifically those classified as Schedule 8, restricted, controlled or streamlined authority medications. This limitation ensures patient safety and adherence to medical guidelines.

To receive your blood test results, your clinician will schedule a follow-up telehealth doctor’s appointment for you. When you receive the notification of this appointment, simply book your preferred time, and your clinician will explain your results.

You must have an Individual Health Identifier (IHI) to consult with a telehealth doctor and for us to issue eScripts. In some cases, we can retrieve your IHI from the information provided during sign-up. In most other cases, we can obtain it from your Medicare or DVA card.

If you don’t have a Medicare or DVA card or prefer not to share that information, you can verify your identity using our Digital ID process – a secure online service from Australia Post that requires details from your ID documents. Please note that if you opt for Digital ID verification, we won’t be able to issue eScripts.

Whether looking for a telehealth appointment in Queensland (QLD), New South Wales (NSW), Victoria, or Western Australia, our medical team provides telehealth to individuals in all Australian states and territories.
