COVID-19 Telehealth Consulations and Treatment with Teldoc

Fast Assessment, and Supportive 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 require Covid antiviral treatments to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Teldoc is here to help you navigate your care with ease.

Covid 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.

Teldoc Australia makes it easy to consult with a licensed doctor over phone or video, who can assess your condition and prescribe Covid antivirals if you meet the eligibility criteria and if clinically appropriate.

Am I Eligible for Covid 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.

Teldoc Covid-19 Telehealth Consultations FAQs

What 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.

Should 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.

What 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.

How 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.

Is there a cure for COVID-19?

While there is no single cure, our online doctor can assess your condition and determine the most appropriate management plan. This management plan may include COVID antiviral medications (if you meet strict clinical and government eligibility criteria), monoclonal antibodies (for high-risk individuals, through referral to a hospital and specialist review), and supportive care (such as rest, fluids, and pain relievers). Prescriptions and referrals are not guaranteed, and are up to the discretion of the consulting doctor.

Can Teldoc provide treatment for COVID-19 over telehealth?

Yes. Teldoc offers online consultations with experienced medical professionals. Our doctors can assess your condition and eligibility for the most appropriate management plan, which may include Covid antiviral medications if clinically appropriate. They can also recommend testing and provide guidance on self-care measures.
