Instant Consult is an Australian telehealth service established in 2018, connecting patients with fully qualified, Australian-registered doctors through secure video consultations. Available from 6 a.m. to midnight AEST, seven days a week, including public holidays, the service offers convenient access to medical care without the need to book a traditional appointment. Consultations start at $45, and patients under 12 months of age are bulk-billed.

Through the Instant Consult app, patients can discuss health concerns with a doctor and, when clinically appropriate, receive electronic prescriptions, medical or carer’s certificates, specialist referrals, pathology requests, and radiology requests. Documents are delivered to the app, while prescriptions can be used for online ordering or collection at a pharmacy. Doctors also provide general medical advice and health consultations.

Instant Consult says its doctors are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and that its services follow relevant Australian telehealth standards. With an average wait time of under 15 minutes, the platform aims to make professional healthcare more accessible and convenient across Australia.
