How telehealth works in Queensland
Telehealth lets you see a GP by phone or video without travelling. bulkbill.doctor is an Australia-wide online GP service with no physical clinic in Brisbane, so you can book from the city, the coasts, Cairns, Townsville or the bush.
Medicare is a national scheme, so the telehealth rules are the same in Queensland as in NSW, Victoria or WA. Your GP can issue certificates, scripts and referrals where clinically appropriate, and suggest an in-person visit if needed.
What happens in your consult
Your GP will:
 | talk with you about your symptoms and health history |
 | give you advice and a plan for your next steps |
 | issue a medical certificate if it's clinically appropriate |
 | send a script by email or SMS if it's clinically appropriate |
 | write a referral or request tests where it's appropriate |
 | suggest an in-person visit if you need an examination |
Queensland doesn't use daylight saving, so Urgent After Hours runs 12am to 7am Queensland time all year, even when NSW clocks are an hour ahead in summer.
