Accessing medical services after hours has been a longstanding problem for residents of Dinoga, a regional township in New South Wales. The distance from emergency care, lack of late-night transport, and restricted hours of rural clinics often leave patients with two options:
13CURE's After Hours Doctor Service addresses this specific gap in the healthcare system.
Compassionate, qualified medical care delivered right to your door, including on weekends or late at night, means you and your family don’t have to jeopardise your health because of location or schedule. 13CURE, part of the national after-hours network, offers quality, round-the-clock healthcare access designed to keep you comfortable and secure at home.
Like many small towns and rural areas, Dinoga suffers from
This creates a scenario in which, outside of regular business hours, patients face the dilemma of either postponing their care or receiving assistance in already full and sometimes unsuitable hospital environments.
After-hours doctor services close this gap by
13CURE’s home-based after-hours medical service provides professional healthcare within home-based services to individuals and families with specific needs. Each visit aims to deliver timely, responsive, evidence-based care within the client’s home.

Q: What are some of the services eligible under bulk billing?
A: Bulk billing generally includes consultations for acute or chronic conditions, basic diagnostic assessments, prescriptions, and treatment plans for common illnesses.
Extra costs may be added for some specific treatments or procedures, but they will be explained in detail prior to service.
Q: How fast can I expect a doctor to arrive for an after-hours visit in Dinoga?
A: As long as the situation is non-emergency, we typically need 2 to 4 hours to respond. If a patient is located far away or it is late at night, the estimated arrival time may change. Ambulances should always be called when in a critical situation without a need to explore the expected wait time.
Q: Are there any limitations to what can be treated at home?
A: Yes. Nobody is disputing that home doctor services apply to a large variety of conditions, but some patients are better served in a hospital, such as
For these intense scenarios, 13CURE physicians may provide basic emergency care and transfer care for pertinent emergency services.
Scepticism: There may be a worry that home visits will lack the ability to diagnose conditions accurately, unlike a clinic that is equipped for laboratory work, radiology, and advanced diagnostic tools.
Response: Although certain diagnostics may be limited for use in the home setting, 13CURE physicians are equipped with

Concern: They find it difficult to trust a home setting as clinics offer more structure and multiple staff.
Response: 13CURE employs a hybrid model of care. Patients can enjoy both home and in-clinic services, blending or alternating the two as desired. Our doctors work collaboratively with primary GPs and other local health service providers to guarantee seamless professional care in all locations and clinics. Home visits aim at comfort and flexibility and do not substitute clinics; instead, they augment them.
Concern: Home-visiting doctors may be viewed as less qualified.
Response: All 13CURE doctors are
