Short answer: it varies a lot — from free (bulk‑billed) up to several hundred dollars. Typical ranges in Australia in 2025:

• Bulk‑billed telehealth: $0 out‑of‑pocket for eligible patients (Medicare cardholders who meet a practice’s bulk‑billing rules, many children/concession holders, some regional programs). (Teldoc.com.au)
• Private GP telehealth: commonly about A$40–A$120 per consult; after the Medicare rebate your out‑of‑pocket is often around A$20–A$60 for a standard 10–20 minute GP telehealth visit (depends on the clinic fee and whether they pass on the rebate). (DoctorHelp.com.au)
• Extended or specialised GP/mental‑health consults: A$80–A$220 before rebate; mental‑health care plan or longer therapy sessions often sit in the A$120–A$220 region (rebates may reduce the gap). (lenamedical.com.au)
• Specialist telehealth: initial specialist consultations commonly A$200–A$400 or more; Medicare rebates exist for many items but the patient gap is usually larger than for GPs. (lenamedical.com.au)

Medicare/rebate notes (important)

• Medicare provides telehealth rebates for many GP and specialist items. The standard GP rebate for a basic consultation is roughly in the low‑$40s, so the usual patient gap equals the clinic fee minus that rebate. (Example: recommended GP fee guidance and rebate changes noted in 2024–25). (au.finance.Yahoo.com)

Why prices vary

• Whether the provider bulk bills, the length/complexity of the consult, after‑hours or weekend surcharges, whether it’s a new patient, and whether the provider can and will claim a Medicare rebate all change the price. Online platforms also set their own flat rates (some advertise from about A$49 weekday). (Teldoc.com.au)

What to do next (practical)

• If you want the lowest cost: look for providers that explicitly bulk‑bill telehealth or target concession/child/rural patients.
• If you want a quick price check: open the online provider’s fees page (they usually show private vs bulk‑billed pricing) or call them and ask “do you bulk‑bill telehealth for Medicare cardholders?” and “what Medicare rebate will be claimed?” (Teldoc.com.au)

If you’d like, I can:

• look up current prices for specific online GP services or platforms in your state/city, or
• explain how to estimate the exact out‑of‑pocket cost given a clinic’s fee and the Medicare rebate.
