The video consultation is $29.99, including the doctor's assessment and, where appropriate, a prescription sent as an eScript to your phone or pharmacy. Repeats are available, subject to assessment.

While not always require, it often helps. Acne severity guides treatment choice, so the doctor will usually ask to see the affected areas on camera where possible; good lighting makes this easier.

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons people use the service.

For shorter, minor illnesses, a telehealth appointment [...]

Pharmacists at many pharmacies can issue an Absence from Work Certificate for minor illness, in person, for a maximum of 2 days, and these cannot be backdated or used for Centrelink or fitness-for-work purposes. For the full rules, costs and how they compare with a doctor's certificate, see our guide to pharmacy medical certificates.
That depends on your workplace policy; the Fair Work Act lets employers ask for evidence, but many only require it for longer or repeated absences. If your employer does not require evidence for a single day, you may not need a certificate at all. Ask your employer or manager before booking yourself in for an [...]
