DoctorDoctor provides bulk billed in home after hours medical care for unexpected illness and connects patients who do not have a regular GP to daytime General Practice for their ongoing continuity of care.

We believe that the best place to receive medical care is through your regular GP. However, when your GP is not available our qualified and experienced call centre staff will relay details of your condition to our doctors in the field. A doctor will then telephone you prior to arrival, treat you in your home and send a comprehensive treatment encounter record to your GP. Please note we do not treat medical emergencies or routine matters such as medication refills.
