Convenient and Affordable Online Doctor Adelaide

Teldoc Australia is a fully Australian-owned online GP service. You connect with an Australian doctor by video or phone from home, work or the uni library, without waiting for an appointment at a local clinic.

What our Adelaide patients use us for

• Repeat prescriptions: an eScript sent by SMS that you can fill at any Adelaide pharmacy, including our Health Network partners Terry White Chemmart Rundle Place and Prospect Pharmacy.
• Medical certificates: for work, the University of Adelaide, UniSA, Flinders or TAFE, emailed the same day.
• Sexual health: discreet STI testing and treatment, contraception and men's health consultations, bulk billed with a valid Medicare card.
• Referrals: pathology and imaging requests you can take to any collection centre or imaging practice in Adelaide, and specialist referrals.
• Mental health: a first conversation with a GP, and a plan for what comes next.
• Regional South Australia: if you live in the Barossa, Fleurieu, Riverland or further out and the local clinic is booked out, a phone consultation works from anywhere with mobile reception.

Local health services in Adelaide

Teldoc works alongside the services already available in Adelaide. If a telehealth consultation isn't the right fit, our GP will tell you and point you to the right place.

• Adelaide Sexual Health Centre, Adelaide CBD: SA Health's public sexual health clinic offering confidential testing and treatment. Teldoc can arrange the same tests by telehealth with a pathology request.
• Emergencies: for chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding or any emergency, call 000 or go to the Royal Adelaide, Flinders Medical Centre or Lyell McEwin emergency department. Telehealth is not for emergencies.

Bulk billing in Adelaide

We bulk bill every consultation that Medicare covers. Medicare only covers a telehealth GP consultation if you have seen us in person in the past 12 months or an exemption applies. Exemptions include sexual health consultations, babies under 12 months and patients experiencing homelessness, so those consultations are bulk billed with a valid Medicare card. All other consultations are charged at our private fee. Please check our Pricing page before booking.
