Using Doccio in Queensland

What it's like here

Queensland is the most decentralised mainland state, and a large share of the population lives outside the south-east corner. For people in the regions and on the coast, an online request avoids a long drive for something administrative.

Prescriptions and pharmacies

Prescriptions are issued as electronic prescriptions. You receive a link by SMS and show it at any pharmacy in Queensland 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

Queensland employers, TAFE Queensland and the state's universities accept an ordinary medical certificate as evidence of an absence. Each Doccio certificate carries a verification reference an employer can check.

What it costs

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

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. Queensland has satellite hospitals and Medicare Urgent Care Clinics for urgent problems that are not emergencies, alongside your usual practice.

In an emergency, call 000.
