About us

DoctorDoctor, formerly the Australian Locum Medical Service (ALMS), has been providing after hours medical care to patients on behalf of General Practitioners for more than half a century. Established as the first service of its kind in Melbourne providing after hours primary care for the patients of more than 2,000 GPs.

ALMS was renamed DoctorDoctor in 2016 to better reflect our belief that the best medical care results from a coordinated and collaborative relationship built on trust between our after hours doctors, the GP and the patient.
