Sick on the Sunshine Coast after-hours?

House Call Doctor has heard your calls and teams of doctors will begin treating patients in their home from Caloundra to Noosa from this Tuesday, 23rd February. 

The distinct fleet of House Call Doctor cars are criss-crossing the Sunshine Coast every weeknight and weekend when local GPs are closed and the service is 100 percent bulk-billed.

House Call Doctor Chief Executive Officer Wayne Ormond said House Call Doctor is now Queensland’s largest regional after-hours, in-home health care provider.

“It means residents – and holidaymakers – can now wait in the comfort of their own home for a doctor and because it is 100 percent bulk billed they are not a cent out of pocket.”

Mr Ormond said the House Call Doctor call centre had been inundated with requests for the service to expand to the tourist hot spot.

“We give people peace of mind in the middle of the night when they’re sick, or their children are sick, and they need a doctor but don’t want to go to an emergeny department.”

Mr Ormond said the service – which launched in April last year across regional Queensland – is taking pressure off hospital emergency departments right across the State by treating patients with non-life threatening conditions.

House Call Doctor records show up to 90 percent of patients are seen within three hours.

“All patients need to get a doctor to their door is a Medicare or Department of Veterans Affaris (DVA) card and the service is 100 percent bulk billed.”

Mr Ormond said all doctors travel with chaperones and House Call Doctor staff provide detailed medical notes to the patient’s regular GP.

House Call Doctor operates Monday to Friday from 6pm to 8am and after midday Saturday and 24 hours a day on Sunday and public holidays.
