Getting started

How to begin

How do I start?

Begin with the 60-second eligibility check. If suitable, you’ll be invited to complete a structured intake and book a telehealth consultation with an AHPRA-registered clinician.

Can I start without a consultation?

No. A real-time clinician consultation is required before any prescribing decision. Completing the intake form alone is not a substitute for a consultation.

How long does the whole process take?

The eligibility check takes about two minutes. Intake takes 10–15 minutes. Most patients are seen in consultation within a few business days. Your clinician’s decision is delivered during the consultation itself.

Eligibility

Who can access the pathway

Is everyone approved for the program?

No. Approval depends on your individual health profile, medical history, and clinical suitability. Our clinicians exercise independent judgment and may decline patients who are not suitable for this pathway.

Who is eligible to apply?

Generally, Australian adults (18+) who are comfortable with telehealth and willing to complete a clinical intake and consultation. The eligibility quiz filters out obvious exclusions up front; your clinician makes the final determination.

Can I use this service from anywhere in Australia?

The service operates Australia-wide via telehealth. Some clinical presentations require local in-person assessment; your clinician will advise if that applies to you.

Consultations & decisions

How clinical decisions work

How long is the consultation?

Typically 20–30 minutes over secure video. Your clinician uses your intake as the starting point, asks follow-up questions, and discusses what, if anything, is clinically appropriate.

Does booking a consultation guarantee approval?

No. A consultation is a clinical review, not a pre-approval step. Its purpose is to determine whether this pathway is clinically appropriate for you.

Will I always see the same clinician?

We aim to keep you with a consistent clinician wherever possible. If your primary clinician is unavailable, another AHPRA-registered clinician in the care team will cover.

What if I disagree with my clinician's decision?

You can request a second clinical opinion via our care team, or take the clinical summary to your primary care provider for independent review. You’re not locked into any single pathway.

Pricing & inclusions

What you pay for and what you get

What is included in the program fee?

Your fee covers the clinical service: scheduled clinician check-ins, care-plan reviews, secure messaging, and continuity with your care team. The patient portal is included.

How are clinically prescribed items billed?

Any clinically prescribed items are separate, subject to independent clinician decision and appropriate dispensing channels, with relevant pharmacy fees applied. They are not bundled into the program fee.

Are there any lock-in contracts?

No. There are no long-term contracts. You can pause or cancel through your patient portal or by contacting our care team at any time.

Delivery & privacy

How information and items are handled

Is my information private?

Yes. Your personal health information is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act and relevant health-records legislation. Your data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

How does delivery work where prescribed items are involved?

Where clinically appropriate, prescribed items are dispensed by an appropriate pharmacy and delivered discreetly. The dispensing pathway is independent of website browsing and follows standard pharmacy procedures.

Will my employer or insurer be told?

No — not without your explicit consent. The clinical relationship is between you and your clinician.

Safety, follow-up & escalation

How ongoing care is structured

How does ongoing monitoring work?

Your care team schedules regular check-ins to review progress, monitor relevant health markers, and adjust your care plan as needed. You can communicate with your clinician through the patient portal between scheduled check-ins.

What if I need specialist care?

Your clinician can facilitate referral to appropriate specialists (e.g. endocrinology) and coordinate with your primary care provider. Escalation is a normal part of safe clinical care.

What about urgent or emergency situations?

If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, contact local emergency services (000) immediately. Our telehealth service is not designed for emergency care.

Can I still see my GP while on the program?

Yes — and we encourage it. We provide a clinical summary you can share with your primary care provider so your broader care remains coordinated.

Patient portal

How the portal works

What can I do in the patient portal?

Review your care plan, schedule and manage appointments, message your care team securely, view documents and clinical summaries, and manage billing.

How do I access the portal?

After your first consultation you’ll receive sign-in details by email. New patients can also access the portal’s logged-out start screen at any time to begin a fresh assessment.

Is the portal secure?

Yes. Sign-in is protected; all messaging and document storage uses encrypted channels. Your information is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act.

Not suitable / alternatives

If this pathway isn’t right for you

What happens if I’m not approved?

You’ll be told directly during the consultation and, where possible, redirected to a more suitable pathway — whether that’s a specialist, in-person assessment, or coordination with your GP.

Is telehealth always appropriate?

No. Telehealth is not suitable for all patients or all clinical presentations. Some cases require in-person assessment, specialist referral, or additional diagnostic work. Your clinician will advise if telehealth is not appropriate for your situation.

How do I cancel or pause the program?

Through your patient portal, or by contacting our care team. There are no cancellation fees and no lock-in contracts.

Still have a question?

Our care team answers scheduling and administrative questions within one business day. Clinical questions are answered by your clinician during your consultation.
