However, how can you determine if after hours QLD telemedicine is the best for a patient’s condition?
When it’s outside regular hours, you can either turn to 13SICK for a Doctor home visit or telehealth consultation. Request a consultation for the latter if your location isn’t part of our home visit coverage areas. It’s also smart to opt for telehealth on days when external factors, like poor road conditions or weather concerns, may significantly delay a Doctor’s arrival at your home.
You must also take into account the kind of concerns our Doctors address. As Australia’s largest network of after hours Doctors, 13SICK provides urgent medical care when regular GPs are unavailable. Our services ensure reliable after hours medical care for sudden or short-term illnesses that aren’t life-threatening, like gut-related sicknesses, fevers, back and neck pain and more.
It’s important to note that, like our home visits, 13SICK’s telehealth consultation service is intended for urgent after hours medical attention and is not a substitute for emergency services. In emergencies, always call triple zero (000).
To begin using telehealth QLD locals can turn to, whether you’re after telehealth for families or specifically telehealth for kids, select your symptoms from our list of categories. If an in-person consultation is more suitable, you can opt for a Doctor’s home visit as part of our flexible options.
Next, choose your preferred communication method for the telehealth online consultation – video call, text chat or phone call. This flexibility accommodates different comfort levels and technological capabilities, making our service more accessible.
Then, you can do a simple verification with Medicare care. With bulk billing telehealth available for those with Medicare, financial barriers are removed, allowing you to focus on getting the help you need. After that, your real-time request will be sent, and you’ll get an estimated wait time until your consultation.

To prepare, ensure you have a suitable device like a smartphone, tablet or computer capable of video calls. Keep it charged, and check your internet speed beforehand. If your usual internet source is unreliable, consider alternatives like mobile data to reduce the risk of dropped or lagging calls.
Just as you would for a telehealth GP appointment with your regular Doctor, it’s best to choose a quiet, private space for your after hours consultation to maintain confidentiality and minimise distractions. If you’ve opted for our video call option, good lighting is also important so the healthcare professional can see you clearly, which is crucial for visual assessments.
