24/7 Bulk Billed GP Telehealth Consults (for Medicare Eligible Patients) @ NewDoc

Sharing this for anyone struggling to find a bulk billing GP!
There's an Australian telehealth service called NewDoc that offers bulk-billed GP consultations for Medicare-eligible patients. Consultations are via video with AHPRA-registered, Australian-based GPs.
Disclosure: I'm affiliated with NewDoc.
What stands out compared to other telehealth services posted here:
- Daytime hours available: not just after-hours. You can see a doctor from 8am-11pm
- Actual GPs: consultations are with registered General Practitioners, not nurse practitioners.
- No hidden fees for certificates or scripts: sick certificates and prescriptions are included as part of the bulk-billed consult. No $14.90 add-on like some other services.
Could be useful if you:
- Can't find a bulk billing GP near you
- Need a same-day consult and your regular GP is booked out for weeks
- Need a sick certificate, repeat script, or referral
Worth noting:
- You need a valid Medicare card
- Availability is location-dependent. Bulk-billed consults are available in eligible areas under current Medicare telehealth provisions. Most of Australia is covered. You can check your eligibility by making a booking.
- Not an emergency service — call 000 for emergencies
Happy to answer any questions in the comments.
