Frequently Asked Questions
Can I access weight management consultations online?
Yes. Docmate provides secure telehealth weight management consultations with Australian-registered doctors. Patients can discuss their weight-loss goals, medical history, and lifestyle factors with a doctor online without needing to visit a clinic in person.
How do I find a doctor near me?
With Telehealth, you don’t have to. Our platform connects you directly with an AHPRA-registered doctor online, no matter where you are in Australia.
Can doctors prescribe weight-loss medications through telehealth?
If clinically appropriate, doctors may prescribe evidence-based weight-loss medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Prescriptions are issued as electronic prescriptions (eScripts), which can be filled at most pharmacies across Australia.
Does Medicare cover telehealth consultations?
No, our telehealth consultations are not covered by Medicare. However, you may still be able to make a claim through private health insurers, depending on your policy. We recommend contacting your health insurance provider directly for more information on potential coverage.
