For many seniors, accessing healthcare can be a challenge. Mobility issues, transportation difficulties and the sheer effort of visiting a clinic can feel overwhelming.

The good news is that online medical consultations like Instant Consult remove these barriers. You can now speak with a doctor from the comfort of your home using just a smartphone or computer. This easy access is convenient and makes sure that you get healthcare when you need it most.

Here's how these online consultations are changing senior healthcare:

When you need medical advice, the process for an online consultation is straightforward and user-friendly. Just download the Instant Consult app, sign up and click on "Request a Consult." Usually, within just 15 minutes, an AHPRA-accredited Australian-registered doctor is ready to connect with you for a video consultation.

During this session, the online doctor will carefully assess your medical condition and history. You'll receive personalised advice and any necessary online prescriptions if you need a medication or a refill.

Online medical certificates are also available through this service. Both the online prescriptions and medical certificates will be sent through to your Instant Consult inbox and will remain there until you decide to remove them.
