Whether you need a home visit GP Melbourne, an on call doctor near me, or doctor home visits during the day, 13CURE helps connect you with qualified doctors based on availability and clinical suitability.

For eligible Medicare patients, home visits and telehealth consultations may be bulk billed.

About After Hours Doctor Home Visits

An after hours home doctor service helps bridge the gap between regular GP clinics and hospital emergency departments. It is designed for urgent but non-life-threatening health concerns.

Patients often use after hours urgent care for symptoms such as fever, mild infections, vomiting, minor injuries, headaches, or worsening cold and flu symptoms.

This type of care may be available in the evenings, on weekends, on Sundays, and on public holidays. If symptoms are serious or life-threatening, call 000 immediately.

Important Patient Information

Before your consultation, keep your Medicare card, medication list, and relevant medical history nearby. This helps the doctor understand your situation and provide safer advice.

Patients using telehealth GP services in Melbourne can also review how personal information is handled through the 13CURE privacy policy, especially when sharing health details online.

Why It Is Important to Have Your Own GP

A home doctor service is helpful for after hours or urgent non-emergency care, but it should not replace your regular GP.

Your usual doctor knows your medical history, current medications, and long-term health needs. After a home visit, the doctor may recommend follow-up with your regular GP if ongoing care is needed.

13CURE also shares information about the medical team on our doctors page for patients who want to understand who may provide care.
