An after hours clinic may seem like a great option for urgent needs, but what if the care came to you instead?
Waiting until the morning isn’t always viable when your child’s fever spikes or sore throat happens at 10.00 p.m. These moments call for a swift, reliable response that doesn’t send you scrambling to an emergency room or stuck searching for an ‘after hours clinic near me’.
With 13SICK, you can access the quality care of Australia’s largest and most trusted network of after hours Doctors right at home. While we don’t have a clinic, we do help you easily have a qualified Doctor come to your home or connect through a telehealth service with just a few clicks.

When is the best time to go to an after hours clinic, access a telehealth service or request a home visit? Discover below.
If there’s no after hours clinic near you, telehealth and home visit services are great alternatives.
Suppose you find yourself too unwell to make a trip to your local family medical care clinic. In that case, after hours healthcare services can offer you remote consultations, allowing you to connect with a Doctor from your living room. This is particularly beneficial when dealing with common issues such as sore throats or mild fevers, as it saves time and provides peace of mind without leaving your home.
Additionally, some after hours Doctor services offer home visits, which are invaluable to those who need in-person assessments and treatment. This blend of telehealth and at-home visits offers you flexible options to get medical guidance when it’s needed most.
At 13SICK, we’re proud of our vast and reliable network dedicated to after hours healthcare that you can access at home. With us, having to waste time looking up ‘after hour clinics near me’ becomes a thing of the past. We currently offer home visits across Australian capital cities but we are constantly expanding our network and service delivery areas. Our telehealth services are available nationwide.
Our service is designed for treating acute, short-term conditions when visiting a GP isn’t possible due to time constraints. It helps reduce the workload on family GPs by helping ensure patients get 24-hour access to quality medical care.
You don’t have to rely on an after hours GP clinic if you’re dealing with non-life-threatening medical issues. When you find yourself needing medical care for scenarios like a sore throat, a minor burn or even a mildly sprained ankle, telehealth and home visit services are ready to assist.
If needed, the Doctor will also prescribe prescriptions, make referrals for follow-up care or provide medical certificates.
While an after hours clinic may cover urgent needs, it’s not a substitute for emergency rooms in critical cases. For situations involving chest pain or breathing difficulties, head to the emergency department or call triple zero (000) for immediate assistance.
Yes, wait times can differ significantly between telehealth and a Doctor’s home visit. Telehealth often allows for faster access because you don’t need to travel or wait for a Doctor to arrive; you can start a consultation almost immediately from your device via text chat, phone call or video call.
On the other hand, home visits generally take more time, as they depend on a Doctor’s availability and travel time to reach your location.
13SICK offers both options, allowing you to book a telehealth session or a home visit conveniently via our online form.
Requesting a specific after hours home Dr isn’t typically offered by 13SICK. We focus on dispatching the most available and qualified Doctors promptly, ensuring you get the necessary care quickly.

This means regardless of which Doctor responds, you are ensured quality care equipped to meet your needs.
