Common questions
Can a GP treat cold and flu online?
Yes. Most cold and flu cases can be assessed and treated via telehealth. Your GP can recommend treatment, prescribe antiviral medication if appropriate, and issue a medical certificate for work or school.
How quickly can I see a doctor?
You can often join the real-time waiting room and see a GP within the hour. Scheduled same-day appointments are also available.
Can I get a medical certificate online?
Yes. If you need time off work or school due to illness, your SwiftDoc GP can issue a legally valid medical certificate, accepted by employers and schools across Australia.
When should I go to a hospital instead?
If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe headache, high fever above 39.5°C, or if you are immunocompromised, please seek emergency care immediately.
