Access to Care for Doctors & Medical Students

Our confidential, independent GP care is designed around the realities of medical work. Book a face-to-face or Telehealth appointment with Doctors’ Health SA.

Whether you need a check-up, support for a current health concern, follow-up care, a Telehealth appointment, or help reconnecting with ongoing medical care, our service is designed to make it easier to seek care with confidence.

A confidential service you can feel safe using
We understand that seeking care can feel difficult when you work in medicine. Our service is designed to help doctors and medical students access independent, professional care with confidence and discretion.

Who can use this service?
Doctors’ Health SA appointments are available to:

• Registered doctors
• Medical students (are bulk billed for all consultations)

If you are not a doctor or medical student, please do not book via this clinic.

What to expect

Your first appointment is designed to give your doctor time to understand your health properly.

For many doctors and medical students, that means more than addressing one immediate issue. Your consultation may include a review of current concerns, medical history, risk factors, examination needs, investigations and a plan for ongoing care.

In some cases, a full medical assessment may be completed over two appointments so your doctor has the time needed for a careful and thorough review.

After booking, you will receive a new patient registration form via HotDoc. Please complete this before your appointment.

Telehealth appointments

We offer Telehealth appointments via secure video consultation, where clinically appropriate. Telehealth can be a convenient option if you live in a rural or remote area, are unable to attend the clinic in person, or simply prefer to consult from home. Once your Telehealth appointment is booked, you will receive an email from HotDoc containing a secure link to join your video consultation.

If you can't find a suitable Telehealth appointment online, please contact our reception team by phone or email and we'll do our best to assist.

Medicare rebates for Telehealth consultations are only available if you have had a face-to-face consultation with one of our Doctors' Health SA doctors within the previous 12 months. If you do not meet this Medicare requirement, your consultation will be billed as a private appointment. Please refer to our fee schedule for current consultation fees.

GP Outreach Service
We understand that geographical isolation can make it challenging for doctors in regional and remote areas to access independent and confidential medical care.

Our GP Outreach Service supports Medical Practitioners and Medical Students in regional and remote South Australia by coordinating confidential consultations with visiting GPs in selected locations.

These appointments provide a comprehensive health assessment, including a medical history, physical examination, and any investigations that may be clinically indicated. Consultations can last up to one hour, allowing sufficient time to discuss your health concerns in a confidential and supportive environment.

If you, or your colleagues, would be interested in a GP visiting your region, please contact Doctors' Health SA on (08) 8232 1250 or email reception@doctorshealthsa.com.au
