Hours and after-hours care in Geelong

Doctor care is available 8am–6pm Mon–Fri (AEST/AEDT) at the standard rate. Outside that window the same consultation is handled at the after-hours rate, and requests are still reviewed by an Australian-registered doctor.

Geelong keeps the same clock as Sydney, so those hours are your local hours all year.

Using Doccio in Geelong

What it's like here

Geelong has grown rapidly as a commuter and regional centre, and general practice availability has not kept up in the newer suburbs to the north and west. Online requests suit the things that do not need an examination.

Prescriptions and pharmacies

Prescriptions are issued as electronic prescriptions. You receive a link by SMS and show it at any pharmacy in Geelong that dispenses electronic prescriptions, which is now the great majority of them. Nothing needs to be posted, and you can use the same link at a different pharmacy if the first one cannot fill it.

Certificates and employers

Geelong employers, Deakin University and The Gordon accept an ordinary medical certificate as evidence for an absence, and Doccio certificates carry a verification reference.

What it costs

Prices are the same everywhere in Australia. There is no membership and no subscription.

$191-day medical certificateA single day off work, study or caring duties.

$292-day certificate or repeat prescriptionTwo consecutive days off, or a repeat of a stable, existing medication.

$59Doctor careA standard GP consultation, during business hours.

$79Doctor care, after hoursThe same doctor care outside 8am–6pm Mon–Fri.

Business hours 8am–6pm Mon–FriFull pricing, no surprises

When to be seen in person instead

Telehealth is not the right choice for everything. If you need to be examined, have severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, or are worried about someone's safety, get care in person. Geelong has a Priority Primary Care Centre and Medicare Urgent Care Clinic access for urgent problems that are not emergencies.

In an emergency, call 000.
