FAQs

What is Doccy?
Doccy is an Australian owned virtual healthcare platform.

Who are the doctors?
Doccy consults are provided only by AHPRA-registered Australian doctors.

Many of our clinicians also work in hospitals, clinics and general practice across Australia.

We’re powered by Medlo — a locum agency with hundreds of clinicians and partnerships with Australian hospitals — the same credentialing and compliance standards used for hospital work sit behind Doccy’s telehealth service.

Will you run future promotions?
Yes. This is our first promotion. We're long-time Ozbargain fans, and this is our first test running a promotion! We're sorry if you're not sick at the moment, but you can hopefully join us soon.

  • Fees shouldn’t increase for more days off… The doc’s job is the same whether it’s 1 day or a week. Makes no sense to pay double just for extra days - especially for such a service

    • Agreed. Under this dodgy model their medical 'professionals' are incentivised to give you more days off.

      What a trash company.

      • Are there any that don't follow this mode? All that I have come across unfortunately charge extra for extra days. Ughh makes no sense

        • @smmammen you are correct. This is the standard model across popular providers. We are definitely open to feedback/consideration of other models

        • If it’s a simple enough issue, a stat dec should suffice at any decent place of employment

        • Instant Consult is a fixed price for doctor consults and I've had good experiences with them

      • Doesn't that also align with your goals as well? I mean if i want a sickie note, i'd want as long as i can get?

        • Medical ethics shouldn't have a sliding price scale

          There's a difference between a doctor agreeing you need rest and a company upselling you a diagnosis

    • Pricing is something that we're actively experimenting with.

      The difference between 1-3 day definitely seems arbitrary.

      However there is good cause for a pricing increase at 3+ days.

      This is treated as a “General Consult” by our doctors, requiring more time to conduct an extensive history.

      We appreciate the feedback and believe healthcare should be affordable and accessible.

      • What a crap answer! You are doing virtual consults and even I, as a non medical person know that they are bs.

        How do you actually consult someone, or are you suggesting that things like:
        Blood pressure readings
        Paddle pop stick on the tongue
        Stethoscope
        Torch in the ears etc are all just things made up by gps?

        This is rich young doctors, leveraging IT to rip the guts out of Medicare.

        Hope you, and those like you get shut down.

        • @Jetstream we don’t pretend it replaces a full in-person exam. If a doctor needs to check blood pressure, listen to your chest, or look in your ears/throat we will tell our patients to visit a clinic in person.

          Most of the time, telehealth is chosen for low acuity conditions - simply for convenience.

          However it actually creates better access in these specific scenarios:

          • Rural and regional patients
          • Conditions facing stigma or sensitivity (e.g. STIs, HIV, mental health)
          • People with mobility or disability issues
          • People with low immunity
          • People with time constraints
          • Parents with young kids or carers

          Many of these people wouldn't be seen otherwise, and we will always refer patients to a clinic in person if needed.

  • No bargain, most online certs are now free (bulk billed) with the govt increasing medicare rates.

    • This is not true and a sign of Butler’s propaganda.

      The only benefiting practices are the ones that were largely bulk bill already - now the earn a rebate closer to true inflationary value.

      Practices that were truly mixed or private billing only have not made the switch to universal billing due to the significant loss of income that it would result in.

      Online, asynchronous, medical consults and have never been a Medicare relatable service. In order to access an online GP service that is Medicare relatable via telehealth or telephone, the patient would require to be a existing patient of that practice with a face2face appt in the last 12 months, which is not possible for most of these companies.

      • How does this business benefit private practices exactly?

        Seems a model which will encourage overservicing and delinquency, both of which this country can do without. I suspect the ACCC will have something to say about your pricing model. Does it have govt approval?

        • This business benefits no one but its staff and owners.

  • Technically a statutory declaration is sufficient for medical certificate in Australia. You don't even need someone else to sign off on it.

    • Statutory declarations are good in a lot of cases. Here's a brief summary on the differences and options available for sick/leave certificates

      Issuer Typical use Can certify earlier days? Backdate issue date? Notes
      Doctor Work/study absence; carer's leave; most official purposes Yes, if clinically justified and explained. No. Follow RACGP/AMA/MCNSW/MBA guidance; document findings.
      Pharmacist Short leave for minor conditions or carer's leave Very short periods only (often 1–2 days). No. Leave must not start before consult date; employer decides sufficiency.
      Statutory declaration Alternative evidence if a cert isn't available N/A N/A Accepted under Fair Work if it would satisfy a reasonable person.
      Workers' compensation Work injury/illness claims Scheme rules apply. No. Use Certificate of Capacity (Comcare/SIRA etc.).
      • The fact that this table is on your website is already a red flag.

  • What about two months off just to use up all my sickleave

    • 4+ days $32.00 $16.00

  • Sorry but this just seems dodgy as - a medical company opening promoting providing employer medical certificates for dollars.

    • We also had mixed feelings. There's a sense of cheapening, and treating healthcare as transactional. Two things we want to avoid.

      Many other providers have ran similar promotions on Ozbargain. We also wanted to test it out

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/medical-certificate

      • Mixed feelings but offering a 50% discount on sickie certificates?

        Sure. You just want to be first in the race to the bottom

  • For anyone who wants to get in on this scheme www.sickies4u.com.au is still available

  • Is this another India call centre or what?? How much for a PhD?

  • Tbh if there any doctors gullible or poorly skilled enough to provide this service at these prices, you aren't going to want them anywhere near you or your family.

    If somebody's just wanting a day off just because, sure, but I guess the morals and standards left the building a long time ago in that case.

  • Abby Health is free

  • tele health from 13 sick is free.

    Also what is this ?? $price based on days of sick leave ?? ridiculous.

    You may as well do past days if doing such dodgy thing too.
