GP telehealth appointments for everyday care
Can I book a GP telehealth consult online?
Yes. HerDoc helps women in Australia book a GP telehealth consult online and speak with a GP by phone about everyday, non-emergency concerns. You can share what is going on before the consult, feel prepared for the call and get clear next-step advice. HerDoc is not for emergencies. Some concerns can be handled by phone; others need in-person or urgent care.

Speak with an Australian GP
Talk by phone with an AHPRA-registered doctor. Your GP can provide advice and, where clinically appropriate, discuss prescriptions, certificates, referrals, pathology requests or follow-up guidance during the appointment.
Often suitable for
- General health and mental wellbeing
- Women's health, menopause and perimenopause
- Medication advice and prescriptions
- Medical certificates, referrals and pathology requests
Not for urgent care
HerDoc is not for emergencies, crisis support or symptoms that need immediate hands-on care.
- Chest pain, breathing difficulty or severe symptoms
- Sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms
- Mental health crisis or risk of harm
- Symptoms that need a physical examination
For urgent or severe symptoms, call 000 or seek emergency care.
Everyday GP care, made easier
HerDoc is women-first, but care is not limited to menopause, contraception or sexual health. You can use HerDoc for everyday GP concerns such as a new symptom, follow-up, prescription, medical certificate, specialist referral or blood test.
The booking and consult pathway helps organise the practical parts before the call, so the GP can focus on your concern.
- Common non-emergency symptoms
- Prescriptions
- Medical certificates
- Blood tests and imaging
- Specialist referrals
What you can discuss
Your GP may ask what is happening, when it started, your medical history, regular medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding where relevant, previous results and what you are hoping to clarify.
Your GP will help you understand the next step. That may be advice, follow-up, a certificate or medication discussion, a referral or pathology discussion, or guidance to seek in-person or urgent care.
- Symptoms and timing
- Current medicines and allergies
- Relevant health history
- Whether phone telehealth is appropriate for the concern
How the phone consult works
Share the key details before your appointment so the GP can prepare. Intake supports the consult, but it does not diagnose, prescribe, issue certificates, make referrals or decide treatment.
At the appointment time, speak with the GP by phone. If phone telehealth is not the right setting, the GP may recommend in-person care, urgent care, tests, follow-up or another pathway.
- Book online or join the waitlist
