Bulk Billed After-Hours Telehealth

Bulk billed after hours telehealth is a service that allows you to access medical attention outside of regular business hours, without having to pay out of pocket. This service is available to all Australians with a valid Medicare card. It allows you to speak with a qualified medical professional over the phone or through video conferencing, and receive advice, diagnosis, and treatment for non-emergency medical issues. This service is particularly useful for those who live in rural or remote areas, or for those who have difficulty accessing traditional medical services due to mobility issues or other barriers.

To access bulk billed after hours telehealth services in Australia, you must have a valid Medicare card. This service is available to all Australians, regardless of where they live or their income level. However, it’s important to note that not all medical issues can be addressed through telehealth. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, you should call 000 immediately.

We can provide telehealth to patients anywhere in Australia after 11pm. Between 6pm and 11pm we can provide bulk billed telehealth if we provide this service to your regular GP clinic.
