HealthTap - https://www.healthtap.com

In essence, its goal is to create a WebMD-like database of questions that are answered by vetted physicians. If a question is unanswered, a user can submit it, and then doctors from around the country will provide an answer within hours. These answers can then be reviewed by other doctors who frequently add their own second opinions.

  • Nice idea but interesting use of the word "National" when the vast majority of Australia is not covered by it

  • -1

    ok

  • For anyone in the Illawarra: https://radiodoctor.com.au

  • for about a year now I've only been able to get $45 tellehealth appointments with this app. just me?

  • Anyone have success with this (or another easy service) to get a medical certificate - seems like such a waste when you clearly have a virus to go to a GP and pay $80+…

    • yep they email me one after, was great especially if you have an employer who needs a cert for every sick leave.

      • So, if I just have a cold and need a medical certificate for my sick leave, I wouldn't require an in-person visit?

      • Was this the "homedocter.com.au" service or "doctordoctor"?

  • local GP couldn't book me in for an appointment cause its all full EXCEPT if I paid a gap there are all of a sudden more slots available.

  • I recall we also have the bulk billed after-hour doctor in NSW through a 1300 hotline. Does anyone know the number, or has this been discontinued?
