Online Doctor Darwin: Telehealth GP in the NT
Speak to an AHPRA-registered doctor by phone or video from Darwin, Palmerston or anywhere in the Northern Territory, 7 days a week.
Teldoc is an Australian-owned telehealth service. Our doctors can help with prescriptions, medical certificates, referrals and everyday health concerns without a trip to a clinic. We're open 9am to 7pm Sydney time. In Darwin that's 8:30am to 6:30pm from April to early October, and 7:30am to 5:30pm while the eastern states are on daylight saving, because the NT doesn't change its clocks.
Telehealth Consultations - $55 Weekdays / $75 Weekends
OUR SERVICES
Speak with an Online GP from Home
Book a phone or video consultation and speak with an AHPRA-registered GP, often within 15 minutes during opening hours. Our doctors follow RACGP clinical standards and can manage many common health concerns remotely. If you need a physical examination, they'll tell you and help you arrange the right in-person care.
Medical Certificates
Too unwell for work or study? Our doctors can assess you by phone or video and, where appropriate, issue a medical certificate for sick leave, carer's leave or university, sent to your phone as a PDF. Certificates are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors, just like one from a clinic.
Prescriptions
If a medicine is clinically appropriate, your doctor sends an eScript to your phone by SMS or email. You can fill it at any pharmacy in the NT or elsewhere in Australia, or use a pharmacy delivery service. Not every medicine can be prescribed by telehealth, and your doctor will explain your options.
General Health
Get advice and treatment for common problems such as urinary tract infections, sore throats, gastro and skin conditions, plus ongoing care for blood pressure and cholesterol.
Pathology / Radiology
Your doctor can send blood test, X-ray, ultrasound and other imaging referrals to your phone or email. Take them to any pathology collection centre or imaging provider in Darwin, Palmerston or elsewhere in the Territory.
Mental Health
Speak with a doctor about anxiety, low mood, stress or sleep problems, and review your ongoing medication. Teldoc doesn’t provide Mental Health Care Plans, so for a plan please see your usual GP or MyMedicare practice.
Sexual Health
Confidential consultations for contraception, STI testing and treatment and erectile dysfunction, from the privacy of home.
Bulk billed for eligible patients (ED is a private fee)

Common Questions from Patients in Darwin
Q. What are Teldoc's hours in Darwin time?
We're open 9am to 7pm Sydney time, seven days a week. That's 8:30am to 6:30pm in Darwin from April to early October, and 7:30am to 5:30pm from early October to early April, when the eastern states are on daylight saving.
Q. Can I use Teldoc from outside Darwin?
Yes. You can see a doctor from anywhere in the Northern Territory, including Palmerston, Katherine, Alice Springs and remote communities, as long as you have phone reception.
Q. Can I fill my eScript at an NT pharmacy?
Yes. eScripts work at any pharmacy in Australia. Show the QR code on your phone at the counter, or use a pharmacy delivery service if you're far from a pharmacy.
Q. How much does a consultation cost?
Standard consultations are $55 on weekdays and $75 on weekends and public holidays. Bulk billing is available for eligible Medicare card holders, including STI testing and contraception consultations, babies under 12 months and people experiencing homelessness. Medicare only covers a telehealth GP consultation if you have seen us in person in the past 12 months or an exemption applies, so other consultations are charged at our private fee. See our fees for details.
Q. What should I do in an emergency?
Don't use telehealth. Call 000 or go to the emergency department at Royal Darwin Hospital, or your nearest emergency department.
