All FAQs
Is it really free?

Consultations are bulk-billed where eligible, with no out-of-pocket consultation cost when bulk-billing applies. Medication, tests or other services may have separate costs.

How fast will I hear back?

OpenCare is available 24/7 across Australia, with a median wait of under 15 minutes. This is not a guaranteed response time: waits vary with doctor availability and demand. OpenCare is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).

Can you treat my problem?

Doctors can help with concerns such as colds and flu, UTIs, skin conditions, contraception, mental health, sleep problems and ongoing conditions. Your doctor will assess whether telehealth is suitable and let you know if you need an in-person appointment or other care. Explore What We Treat on this page for more information.

Can I get a script or certificate?

Doctors can provide eScripts, referrals, pathology and imaging requests, and medical certificates when clinically appropriate, sent straight to your phone. Your doctor will assess your needs; a prescription or certificate is not guaranteed.

Can I see a doctor who speaks my language?

Yes. Search the doctor directory by language or get matched with a doctor who speaks your language, subject to availability. Each profile lists the doctor's languages. OpenCare is also available in 中文, عربي, हिंदी, Español and 한국어.

Ready when you are.

Message your own GP if they're on OpenCare, or get matched with one now.
