- An internet connection
- A camera, such as the one on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a webcam and microphone
- Headphones are optional.
Can I get an online prescription or script after hours?
A clinician may issue a single prescription where a genuine clinical need is identified.
How long will it take for an after-hours doctor to call?
You can see a doctor in minutes via video call.
What’s the difference between an after-hours doctor and a home visit doctor?
An after-hours doctor is an online doctor or a registered medical practitioner who gives consultation via an online medium, such as video calls, whereas a home visit doctor will come to your home during after-hours. The main difference is speed. While traditional home visiting doctors can take 3 to 5 hours to arrive, Hola Health connects you to a GP in Australia via video in approximately in minutes. You receive medical advice and, where clinically appropriate, prescriptions or certificates — without the long wait. Plus, like home doctors, our service is 100% Bulk Billed* for eligible patients during after-hours periods.
