Is there a Doccio clinic near me?

This service is online. The page does not advertise a physical Doccio practice in your suburb or offer a walk-in address. Use a local provider when an examination or procedure is needed, and check the online service's suitability before booking.

Can I use Doccio while travelling in Australia?

Check service eligibility and available appointments, and provide your actual location during the consultation. Tell the doctor about your access to pharmacies or local care. Do not assume the service is available internationally because it can be accessed through a website.

How do I find a local doctor instead?

Use [Healthdirect's Service Finder](https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/australian-health-services) and contact the practice to confirm availability, fees and scope. A listing does not guarantee a same-day appointment. Mention any examination, accessibility or communication requirements when arranging care.

What if the online doctor says I need to attend locally?

Ask how urgently you should attend and what information to bring. Follow that advice rather than searching for another remote opinion solely to avoid examination. Any local consultation or investigation is a separate service with its own availability and charges.

Can I choose a bulk-billing option?

You can compare local or existing-practice options and ask directly about billing before booking. Doccio's advertised consultations are private-fee services. Read our [bulk-billing explanation](/online-doctor/bulk-billing) rather than assuming all online doctors use the same billing model.

Online doctor near me

Need a doctor near you? Consider the right kind of care.

An online doctor may help when you need medical advice near you but do not need a physical examination. Doccio provides telehealth, not a walk-in clinic in your suburb. Check appointment availability and clinical suitability before booking. If you need hands-on assessment, a procedure or urgent care, a local service may be the better choice; this page explains how to compare those options rather than implying a nearby Doccio clinic exists.

Online fees and local alternatives

A Doccio consultation costs $59 during business hours or $79 after hours. Business-hours pricing is 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, using the time zone displayed at booking. These are private-fee appointments, and a Medicare rebate should not be assumed.

A nearby practice may have different fees, billing arrangements and access to your existing records. Not every clinician bulk bills, and eligibility and provider arrangements should be checked when booking. Services Australia explains bulk billing and finding providers.

Online care can avoid an initial trip when it is suitable, but it does not guarantee that no further travel will be needed. If the doctor recommends an examination, the separate provider's fee is not included in your Doccio consultation.

Also consider the complete pathway: pharmacy access, test collection and follow-up may still involve local services. Ask which costs apply before proceeding. For a simple certificate or eligible repeat request, a separate Doccio pathway may be more appropriate than a full appointment. See pricing and medical certificates for the options.

Online access is not the same as a nearby clinic

Start with what the problem requires

The right service depends on the assessment you need, not just the distance on a map. A wound needing treatment, an injury needing examination or another hands-on problem may be better assessed locally. An online service should be clear about that boundary.

Healthdirect's Service Finder can help locate health services. Confirm opening hours and the service offered rather than assuming every listing can manage your particular concern.

Make your location clear

Tell Doccio where you are physically located during the consultation, including when travelling within Australia. The doctor needs to understand what local follow-up might be practical. This is different from claiming that the consulting clinician is located in your suburb.

Do not book while driving or from a setting where you cannot speak safely and privately. A nearby parking space is not useful if you cannot participate in the assessment properly.

Keep your regular care connected

If you already have a local clinician managing the problem, bring their plan and relevant results. An online appointment may provide additional access, but it should not require you to restart the history from fragments every time.

The RACGP's telehealth position highlights the importance of appropriate integration and continuity. Discuss whether follow-up should occur with your usual practice.

Know when not to compare booking options

In an emergency, call 000. Significant chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, collapse or stroke-like symptoms should not wait while you search for the cheapest or closest routine appointment.

For less urgent concerns, take a moment to compare what each service can actually do. The most convenient booking is the one that can provide an appropriate assessment, not simply the first available link in a search result.
