COVID-19 Care with Teldoc

Fast, Accessible, and Expert Treatment from the Comfort of Home

Understanding COVID-19

COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is an infectious disease that ranges from mild to severe. While many people recover at home with rest and over-the-counter medications, some may need specialised antiviral treatments to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Teldoc is here to help you navigate your care with ease.

Antiviral Treatment in Australia

In Australia, antiviral medications for COVID-19 are available through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), offering subsidised access to eligible patients. These treatments can reduce the severity of symptoms and support faster recovery when prescribed by a doctor.

Our Teldoc telehealth platform makes it easy to consult with a licensed doctor who can assess your condition and prescribe antivirals if you meet the eligibility criteria.

Am I Eligible for Antiviral Treatment?

Eligibility for PBS-subsidised antivirals is specific and may change over time. Our doctors will evaluate your health to determine if you qualify. General eligibility guidelines include:

  • Adults aged 70 and over.
  • Adults aged 50 and over with at least two underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease.
  • Adults aged 18 and over with specific immune-compromising conditions or medications.

Note: Eligibility is highly specific. Speak with a Teldoc doctor to confirm if antiviral treatment is right for you.

Covid-19 Telehealth - FAQs

1What are the common symptoms of COVID-19?

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhoea

Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and can appear 2–14 days after exposure. If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional and follow Australian health guidelines, including testing and isolation protocols. For personalised advice, book a telehealth appointment with a Teldoc GP.

2Should I be concerned about mild symptoms?  
Even mild symptoms can sometimes progress to more serious illness, especially in people with underlying health conditions. If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, it's best to consult with our telehealth doctors for guidance.
3What types of COVID-19 tests are available?
PCR tests: Highly accurate, but may take longer to get results. Rapid antigen tests: Faster results, but may be less accurate than PCR tests. At-home tests: Convenient, but may vary in accuracy.
4How can I get tested for COVID-19 online?
Many pharmacies and community health centers offer COVID-19 testing. You can also order at-home tests online or purchase them at local pharmacies. Our online doctors can guide you on appropriate testing options and may be able to provide virtual consultations for test interpretation.
5Is there a cure for COVID-19?
While there is no single cure, effective treatments are available. This may include antiviral medications, monoclonal antibodies (for high-risk individuals), and supportive care (such as rest, fluids, and pain relievers).
6Can Teldoc provide treatment for COVID-19 over telehealth?
Yes! Teldoc offers online consultations with experienced medical professionals who can assess your symptoms, recommend appropriate testing, and prescribe antiviral treatment when necessary. Our doctors can also provide guidance on self-care measures and answer any questions you may have about COVID-19.
