Hours and after-hours care in Central Coast

Doctor care is available 8am–6pm Mon–Fri (AEST/AEDT) at the standard rate. Outside that window the same consultation is handled at the after-hours rate, and requests are still reviewed by an Australian-registered doctor.

Central Coast keeps the same clock as Sydney, so those hours are your local hours all year.

Business hours 8am–6pm Mon–Fri

Using Doccio in Central Coast

What it's like here

A large share of the Central Coast commutes to Sydney or Newcastle, which leaves a narrow window for a weekday appointment at home. Early-morning and evening requests are the norm here.

Prescriptions and pharmacies

Prescriptions are issued as electronic prescriptions. You receive a link by SMS and show it at any pharmacy in the Central Coast that dispenses electronic prescriptions, which is now the great majority of them. Nothing needs to be posted, and you can use the same link at a different pharmacy if the first one cannot fill it.

Certificates and employers

Central Coast employers and study providers accept an ordinary medical certificate as evidence for an absence, with a verification reference on every Doccio certificate.

What it costs

Prices are the same everywhere in Australia. There is no membership and no subscription.

When to be seen in person instead

Telehealth is not the right choice for everything. If you need to be examined, have severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, or are worried about someone's safety, get care in person. The Central Coast has urgent care services and Medicare Urgent Care Clinic access for urgent problems that are not emergencies.

In an emergency, call 000.
