About Us

The 247 home visiting doctors are fully qualified and often have a few years of emergency experience. We are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), as required by the Medical Board of Australia and have full medical defence (indemnity insurance). We are the very same doctors you would see at a hospital or in a local general practice. We cooperate with your general practitioners to ensure health care is continuous.

The 247 Doctor are fully equipped to diagnose and treat any urgent problems, conditions, and/or injuries which you would find necessary to be done. Also they can suture lacerations, provide wound care, arrange hospital admission, palliative care, catheterization, pathology test, incident reports, peg tube maintenance, start medications if required, and much more. The doctors can also provide legal verification of death.

247 Doctor will receive calls for an appointment for home visits starting at 6 pm. All home visits are scheduled
according to their urgency.
Our operators will stay in touch and contact you when the doctor is on his way. Home doctor visits can typically be scheduled within 1-3 hours of receiving your call with some exceptions on busy days. Please note we recommend for emergency cases, please call 000 immediately for an ambulance.
