There’s nothing worse than calling in sick to work with a migraine or a debilitating case of the flu, only to realise that you’ll need to drag yourself out of the house to get a medical certificate to give your employer. It’s a common complaint, similar to the struggle of waiting weeks to get a booking with your regular GP for a simple prescription refill, or travelling long distances to sort out a simple medical issue. 

Thankfully, online consultation providers like Instant Consult are switching things up when it comes to simple medical consultation services. Forget the arduous process of making an appointment. Instead, simply click ‘request a consult’ on the Instant Consult website or app and a fully qualified, Australian registered doctor will be with you via video call ASAP for an instant consultation. 

Instant Consult is open pretty much whenever you might need them, aka day and night, seven days a week. As for their services, they specialise in medical certificates, prescriptions (repeat or new), and digital referrals sent the same day, to help you seek treatment from different types of specialists. 

Heading to the GP for a simple pathology or radiology request can also be a thing of the past thanks to Instant Consult. Visit a collection centre for the blood test or scan you need after an Instant Consult, with your electronic referral safely in your inbox.
