Telehealth GP Appointment for Brisbane Residents

Brisbane is a city known for its active lifestyle, with residents often seen jogging along the Brisbane River Trail and enjoying the vibrant nightlife in Fortitude Valley and South Bank. However, many people living in River City still struggle to find healthcare services that fit their schedules. For instance, a child falling ill unexpectedly or a busy professional realising they have run out of medication after a long trip on the M1 are situations where medical care is needed urgently, no matter the time.

Get Medical Advice from Brisbane's Doctors via Telehealth

Its is quite tricky. Local GP clinics are always busy, with long waiting times. As an alternative, waiting at an excessively crowded Emergency Department at the Royal Brisbane or Mater Hospital is not only inconvenient but also a waste of time for cases that are not life-threatening. Prime Medic is a modern and time-saving alternative. Using our telehealth appointment service exclusively, we connect Brisbane residents with doctors registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) via video or phone consultations conducted in a secure environment. Our doctors can provide medical advice and, where clinically appropriate, may issue prescriptions or medical documentation following assessment.

We bring the doctors’ clinic wherever you live. It doesn’t matter whether you are in a skyscraper in the CBD, a house in The Gap, or student accommodation in St Lucia;our service allows you to access medical care without leaving your home.

Benefits of Virtual GP Consultations for Brisbane Families

More Brisbane families are switching to telehealth to gain greater control over their health. For a city as sprawling as Brisbane, notorious for traffic jams and overcrowded roads, visiting a physical clinic may mean racing against time.

Health Professionals Ready to Serve You Anytime

Apart from clinical excellence, patient convenience has always been at the core of our operations at Prime Medic. We know that not all medical problems require a physical exam; still, they all need a qualified professional to make the right call.

This service might work for you

A Direct Connection to AHPRA Registered Doctors: The only doctors that we connect you with are those who are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). This ensures that the medical advice you receive meets the high standards of medical care expected in Australia.

Time Saver: Instead of getting yourself ready to attend a remote clinic where the waiting area is always packed, you can just consult your medical practitioner in the comfort and convenience of your home.

At Your Service: Our doctors are happy to assist you, even if it’s just to determine the cause of a sudden migraine, renew prescriptions, or provide advice on relieving an infection. They can also offer referrals to the local pharmacy.

A service that literally applies to those “in between” moments when you’d be reluctant to see your regular doctor just yet, but still not well enough to call an ambulance. Find more information about the health professionals behind our service at the AHPRA-registered doctor page.

How Prime Medic Supports Brisbane Residents in Their Health Management

Anytime you throw the word Brisbane in a conversation, most people will think of the CBD of the Queensland capital. But it is a reality in which a vast network of communities has unique needs. Designed our platform with the idea that no Brisbane residents would be deprived of easy access to medical centres.

We can provide documents such as a medical certificate to cover missed exams or advice for a persistent cough. Can you get an urgent GP appointment in Brisbane via our availability checker?

Bringing Together Different Sides of the Brisbane Community

The Inner City Workaholics: Parking is always an issue for anyone living in New Farm or West End apartments who needs to see a doctor. Telehealth would be a strong alternative, as its convenience would make it easier to fit medical check-ups into your daily routine.

Suburban Neighbours: People living in fast-developing areas such as North Lakes, Springfield Lakes, and Redlands have minimal access to immediate GP appointments. Prime Medic makes it possible for you to get your health care without making a long drive.

Students and Rural Area Residents: Students at UQ, QUT, or Griffith who don’t have a family doctor near their campus can access the help they need through our Brisbane online doctor services.

Telehealth: An Excellent Solution for Brisbane's Busy Lifestyle

Driving or travelling frequently is so typical for Brisbane that one hardly thinks twice about it. After all, traffic on the Bruce Highway, Centenary Motorway, or Gateway has been quite bad for a while, so do you want to add another doctor’s visit commute to your list?

Less Road Congestion and Stress

The patient’s geographical location no longer limits access to health care through telehealth services in Brisbane.

Consult a Doctor Wherever You Are: Are you at home, at your office, or even lounging in your living room? You can easily manage your health via telehealth. Brisbane residents may be experiencing more frequent storms and a wetter than usual wet season. Travelling outside may be very risky. If so, it is all the more helpful that healthcare can be delivered online.
Save Your Time and Energy for Things That Really Matter: Those working in shifts at the Port of Brisbane and the health staff at PA Hospital often have non-aligned traditional clinic hours with their rosters. Our flexible online service is here for those who keep the city going.
Same-Day Medication:If clinically appropriate, an electronic prescription (eScript) may be issued following your consultation. You will then be able to pick up your medicine at the chemist nearest your home before you arrive.

Using Brisbane digital health tools will give you greater freedom in your time and health. Please see our telehealth overview for more information.

A Telehealth Service for the Whole Family

When a child is unwell, it is usually a top concern for parents or carers. Many parents have to decide whether to rush their child to a clinic or manage symptoms at home.

Brisbane Families Can Count on Us

Prime Medic offers Brisbane family telehealth options that prioritise children’s safety and parents’ peace of mind.

The answer can readily be found in the consultation: whether you should be concerned if your toddler has a rash or fever (if your child is alert), or whether minor infections can be treated at home. You can then plan for hospital or home care accordingly.

Those who are looking after elderly relatives at Wynnum or Sandgate can rely on telehealth to make the life of an individual with reduced mobility easier, since routine appointments, such as script renewals, no longer require arranging transport.

Welcoming older adults and people with disabilities to remote care with our health professionals via digital tools will always be seamless, as we design our platform for easy access and use.

Your family’s healthcare information is kept in a secure, protected environment. Read more about our family telehealth program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some common questions asked by you

Can I get a medical certificate for work in Brisbane?

Yes, of course. Our AHPRA-registered doctors can evaluate your health status via telehealth. If the doctor finds you unfit for work, a medical certificate may be issued if the doctor assesses that you are unfit for work.

Are telehealth services also available to residents of Ipswich and Logan?

Yes, definitely. Prime Medic’s network reaches the entire Greater Brisbane area, including the suburbs of Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and Moreton Bay. One of our doctors will be available to you with a stable internet connection.

Can online doctors prescribe antibiotics?

How long are the doctors online to provide the service?

We are a service that understands the busy lifestyles of the residents we serve. Hence, we are available not only during the day but also in the evenings after work, on weekends, and even on public holidays when most clinics are closed.
