Need to see a doctor but can’t squeeze in the time to get to the surgery? Then tap into ‘telemedicine’ – virtual medical surgeries, such as GP2U and Doctors on Demand, that allow you to have a video consultation with a GP from your office or the comfort of your home. Some of these Australian registered doctors even bulk-bill! This is a handy service for addressing simple health issues like coughs or skin rashes. If you need further tests, a script or a referral, your online GP will email it through to you after the consultation.
