Call 000 if it is an emergency, for example if you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness or weakness in any part of your body.
Perhaps an after hours medical clinic first comes to mind when you’re seeking medical care. However, whether it’s for yourself or for a loved one, remember that an after hours home Dr visit or telehealth consultation can be as helpful and potentially even more accessible. Here’s how it works:
While we do not present standard after hours medical clinic services at 13SICK, we’re proud to provide after hours GP home visit options and after hours telehealth Doctor consultations.
Now, with this in mind, you’ll be pleased to know that scheduling a session is straightforward and fast.
With just a few clicks, you can connect with professionals who understand the urgency and offer quick, reliable assistance.
Unlike the traditional after hour clinic system, simply choose from our available categories, such as respiratory issues, mental health concerns, musculoskeletal problems, women’s health and more. Then, provide additional details like the duration and severity of your symptoms to help us prepare.
There’s no need to look for bulk billing Doctors after hours services anywhere else, thanks to 13SICK.
Bulk billing simplifies access to healthcare, especially for Medicare or Gold DVA cardholders. When you have a Medicare or Gold DVA card, all home visits and telehealth consultations brought about by our services are bulk billed, eliminating the out-of-pocket stress that can accompany unexpected needs. Just fill out the form using your details to proceed.
Once your details are registered, you can swiftly request a consultation for home Doctor services. When our professionals come directly to your doorstep, you’ll quickly receive an estimated wait time, enabling you to plan your evening without uncertainty. With this, there’ll be no more going to an after hours medical clinic and pacing the floor wondering when help will arrive.
Additionally, for those who prefer or require it, telehealth sessions are conveniently available, offering face-to-face medical attention from the comfort of your home.
Once your request is queued, a Doctor will visit you at home or meet with you online to conduct a consultation. This is our alternative to an after hours GP clinic service, with us at 13SICK providing personalised care according to the unique circumstances of each patient.
In addition to this, rest assured that just like a reputable after hours medical clinic, all 13SICK Deputising General Practitioners are registered with the relevant State Medical Board and maintain up-to-date medical indemnity insurance.
13SICK also follows a quality system accredited by Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL) and meets the definition of a Medical Deputising Service. You can even trust that we comply with the Department of Health regulations for after hours deputising services.
Lastly, healthcare flexibility may extend beyond the immediate consultation and support broader health management. If your health concern necessitates further action, our home visit or telehealth Doctors may provide medical certificates, Carer’s certificates, ePrescriptions or referrals to other Doctors with specialisations. This is similar to what you might get from a GP after hours clinic.
However, you can have peace of mind knowing that there won’t be any unnecessary effort or course of action. Similar to a reliable after hours medical clinic, our Doctors at 13SICK will only provide you with these additional documents if needed.
13SICK offers a home visit and telehealth Doctor service across major Australian capital cities and is expanding its coverage to include more areas. As such, to check if 13SICK operates in your location, utilise the suburb locator on our platform. When you enter your suburb or postcode, you can quickly determine availability in your area and potentially end your search for an after hours medical clinic.
13SICK does not strictly limit the number of after hours Doctor visit opportunities, but frequent callers are closely monitored. While there is flexibility in requesting after hours medical services, the aim is to balance patient care with regular medical help.
Since we work with medical practices, 13SICK ensures that those who require continued assistance are appropriately referred to their General Practitioner or family Doctor for care.
At 13SICK, you can get connected with a licenced Australian doctor after hours via phone call, video call or text chat. Just pick the most convenient option for you while booking your consultation online or by phone, so you don’t have to worry about getting GP after hours access.
13SICK delivers high-quality healthcare directly to you when after hours needs arise. Our telehealth and home Doctor services ensure patients receive urgent medical attention without enduring long waits at emergency departments. Compared to a conventional after hours medical centre, we integrate advanced technology to facilitate quick connections between trained Doctors and patients.
This approach supports your family GP by ensuring continuity of care, and it allows you to tend to urgent concerns without leaving your home. Trust 13SICK for reliable, quick assistance; instead of going to an after hours medical clinic, request a medical home visit booking or telehealth consultation.
Disclaimer: 13SICK cannot guarantee a script or a medical certificate or a medical referral for your consultation. This will be determined by the Doctor during your consultation.
This service is for urgent after-hours medical attention. In case of an emergency, please call triple zero (000).
