Appointments 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 by phone and video, where clinically appropriate.

Telehealth is particularly useful for rural and remote doctors, or when attending in person is difficult.

If you book a video consultation, you will receive a link by email from HotDoc.

If you cannot find a suitable telehealth time online, please call reception or email us.

Rural SA Telehealth

For rural South Australian doctors, the initial tele-consultation is currently subsidised through Country SA PHN grant funding and is available at no cost until 30 June 2026. Subsequent appointments are billed according to Medicare eligibility and standard practice fees.

Please contact reception if you are unsure which appointment type to book.

Northern Territory doctors and medical students

For Northern Territory doctor-patients, the initial tele-consultation is subsidised through NT grant funding and provided at no cost.

Further telehealth appointments are billed as private consultations unless Medicare rebate eligibility applies through a prior face-to-face consultation within the required timeframe.

If you are based in the NT and are unsure how to book, please contact reception and we will guide you.

GP outreach visits

We understand that geographical isolation can make it difficult to access independent medical care.

Our outreach service supports doctors in regional and remote South Australia by arranging confidential consultations with visiting GPs in selected regions.

These appointments can include a full history, examination and investigations where needed.

If you would like to discuss an outreach visit to your region, please contact reception.

Prescriptions and referrals

All prescription and referral requests require an appointment with one of our doctors, either face-to-face, or via Telehealth.
