Here are leading telehealth providers in Australia in 2025, with a short note on what each is best for and sources. Information is current as of 2 October 2025.

Top telehealth providers (2025)

• Healthdirect Australia — government-backed triage, after‑hours GP helpline and virtual GP services; best for free/low-cost urgent triage and official government-backed advice. (Health.gov.au)

• HotDoc (Telehealth On Demand + practice platform) — widely used clinic booking platform with same‑day “Telehealth On Demand” for low‑complexity needs; best if you want to book with your regular practice or access same‑day GP through practices that use HotDoc. (HotDoc supplies telehealth infrastructure to many practices.) (support.HotDoc.com.au)

• GP2U — long‑established Australian dedicated online GP practice (since 2011) offering booked video consults, prescriptions, referrals and Medicare processing where eligible; good for straightforward GP needs from a purpose‑built online practice. (GP2U.com.au)

• Doctors On Demand (multiple on‑demand GPs) — 24/7 on‑demand telehealth with large patient base and many AHPRA‑registered GPs; good for rapid access and after‑hours GP consults. (doctorsondemand.com.au)

• Hola Health / Doctors On Demand (Hola Health’s on‑demand GP service) — commercial app offering 24/7 Doctors On Demand, often billed as low‑cost, fast access for certificates, scripts and general advice. (hola.health)

• Medmate (and similar low‑cost platforms) — low‑cost online GP consultations (examples in 2025 offering very low‑cost consults); good if cost is the primary concern — check current pricing and continuity-of-care options. (News.com.au)

• Telecare / Teladoc Health (specialist + hospital partnerships) — Telecare is a leading Australian virtual specialist clinic; Teladoc expanded its Australian presence via acquisition/partnerships in 2025, strengthening specialist and hospital telehealth capacity — good for specialist virtual consults and health‑system integrations. (teladochealth.com.au)

How I selected these

• Coverage (national availability and after‑hours/on‑demand options), clinical credentials (AHPRA‑registered clinicians), integration with local GPs/practices, and government‑backed services (Healthdirect). Recent product updates and acquisitions in 2024–2025 (platform expansions, Teladoc/Telecare activity) were used to identify leaders. (Health.gov.au)

How to choose the best one for you

• Need urgent advice or a free triage line: use Healthdirect. (Health.gov.au)
• Want continuity with your regular GP or practice bookings: use platforms your clinic uses (HotDoc, practice portals). (support.HotDoc.com.au)
• Want a dedicated online GP practice with Medicare processing: GP2U. (GP2U.com.au)
• Need fast, 24/7 access / after‑hours consults: Doctors On Demand, Hola Health. (doctorsondemand.com.au)
• Need specialist virtual care / hospital integrations: Telecare (now part of Teladoc presence in Australia). (teladochealth.com.au)

Notes and cautions

• Pricing, bulk‑billing options, and Medicare eligibility vary by provider, consultation type and patient circumstances — always check each provider’s current fees and Medicare rebate policy before booking. The Australian Department of Health’s telehealth rules (e.g., eligibility) remain relevant for Medicare‑funded telehealth. (Health.gov.au)
• The telehealth market is active — acquisitions and new services (e.g., Teladoc–Telecare activity in 2025) may change offerings quickly. The items above reflect publicly available information current to 2 Oct 2025. (teladochealth.com.au)

If you want, I can:

• Compare pricing and bulk‑billing options for 3–4 of these providers for your state/age/Medicare status; or
• Find the nearest telehealth services that accept Medicare or bulk‑bill in your postcode (I’ll need your postcode).
