It’s not always easy to find a doctor when you need one – most local GPs are booked out for weeks. But, with Medmate, it will be much easier than using the “doctor near me” search that many people use. Here’s why:

You can find a doctor near you without having to wait for it.

You can find a doctor near you without having to wait for it. The closest doctor is an online doctor. Available 7 days a week from the comfort of your own home.

Online prescription

Online prescriptions for regular medications can be renewed easily with Medmate.

You don’t have to make an appointment…

When you have an urgent medical problem, it can be a hassle to get in touch with a doctor. You may not know where to go or who to call. You might even have trouble getting an appointment quickly enough–especially if you’re calling at night or on the weekend!

When you use Medmate, however, finding a doctor online is as easy as 1-2-3:

  • Choose Express Consult and select the symptoms you’re experiencing – for example ‘Sore Throat’.
  • Provide details of your symptoms and your medical history for the doctor.
  • You’ll receive a call from the doctor to talk through your problem, develop a personal treatment plan and receive electronic prescriptions by SMS. Often all within the hour! (Tip: Choose Priority on checkout).

…and you don’t even have to go in person!

With Medmate, you don’t even have to go in person! You can do everything online, from connect to a doctor to getting prescriptions, buying medicine and getting it delivered to your doorstep. And when it’s time for payment, we’ll take your credit card information over secure channels so there are no worries about hackers stealing your identity or credit card numbers.

This means that if you’re feeling sick and want some advice on how best to treat yourself with our easy-to-use app or website interface–or even just want some reassurance that what you’re experiencing isn’t something serious–we’ve got you covered 365 days per year.

You don’t have to go anywhere at all.

What’s more, you don’t have to go anywhere at all. You can stay at home and do it from your phone or computer.

You can have a phone or video consult with an Australian registered doctor.

It’s cheaper than going to the doctor.

You can save money by not having to go to the doctor. Medmate is about half the out of pocket expense of private GP appointments.

You’ll save money on appointments and travel costs, too.

And if you’ve ever had to park in a city center, then you’ll know how much this will be worth!

It’s more convenient than going to the doctor.

You can find a doctor anywhere, but you don’t have to go anywhere. Medmate allows patients to connect with doctors by text message, phone or video chat from the comfort of their own homes. This eliminates the need for patients to make an appointment and travel in person, which saves both time and money.

It’s also much easier than finding parking when you’re running late because your child has an ear infection or broken arm at school (or whatever).
