Why Choose House Call Doctor - Toowoomba

Feel Better Sooner

We pride ourselves on quality consultation, maintaining high professional standards and providing transparency to our patients. With highly trained doctors and quality service, you know you will be in good hands when a House Call Doctor arrives at your door to treat you so you can feel better sooner.

Why You May Need a Home Doctor

House call doctor services are vital to the community. Some of the more vulnerable members of our society depend on after hour’s clinical care for various reasons. One of the most common reasons is that the regular GP is unavailable to attend the patients’ needs, or the doctor’s office is closed as it is outside of their normal operating hours. Some patients may also be too ill to leave their homes yet their condition is not life-threatening enough to call 000. This is why House Call Doctor is here to meet this need and provide treatment in the comfort of your home.

Doctors You Can Trust

House Call Doctor is a Medical deputising service that has been accredited by the Federal Department of Health under the AMDS program. All of our after hours doctors are fully trained and qualified to give patients medical advice and treatment. All of our doctors are local to the Toowoomba area and they will treat every patient with courtesy and respect when visiting them in their own homes.

The Types of Conditions Our After Hours Doctors Can Treat 

The home doctor service we provide at House Call Doctor deals with category 4 or 5 conditions. These condition types are categorised and non-life threatening. Some of the medical conditions that may apply to this category include:

  • Cold and Flu Symptoms
  • General Illness
  • Severe Pain
  • Minor Lacerations
  • Trauma that may require stitches
  • Animal Bites

Postoperative care can also be provided which can include catheterisation or caring for wounds. We can also offer care to particular patients when the regular GP is unavailable to provide them with medical care.

At House Call Doctor, we have filled a hole in the Toowoomba market by offering an after hours GP service just like it was in the good old days. Anyone new to this types of medical service may be unaware of the benefits a home doctor can provide. When you choose our after hours GP Service with House Call Doctor, there is a range of benefits you will receive.

Bulk Billed

When you have a medicare or DVA card, our medical services will be provided at no cost to you. No need to stress about any costs you may occur when our home doctor service is bulk billed.

The Comfort of Your Own Home

There is no better way to take the stress and hassle out of seeking treatment when you are feeling sick than to have a home doctor see you in the comfort of your home.

Avoid Doctor and Hospital Waiting Rooms

Waiting in busy waiting rooms, surrounded by other sick people in a doctor’s office or hospital can not only be time consuming, but it can also be a risk to your health. Avoid the nightmare by having a doctor come to you.

Reliable

Not only will you be able to access medical treatment out of normal business hours, but you also do not need to make any effort to make your own way to get the medical treatment you need. Just sit back and relax at home and a doctor will be at your door in no time.

Quick Service

A doctor will arrive at your premises in no time at all. In most cases, a doctor will see you within three hours of your call.

It is so easy to book a home doctor in Toowoomba to attend to your medical needs out of hours.

Call us by dialling 13 55 66 and our highly training call centre team will take your details and let you know how long it will take for a home doctor to visit you. Our doctor and a chaperone will usually arrive at your door within 3 hours. If the call is made during the peak period, the wait time may be longer. However 90% of patients are attended to within the 3 hour period.

To ensure you are aware of the progress, patients are kept informed during the wait time. We want our patients to be informed and confident knowing that medical assistance is on its way and will be available to them as soon as possible.

We always give priority to urgent needs patients with small children and the elderly often receiving priority also during the triage process. If your condition deteriorates further, speak with us at the call centre again to update us on your condition. If you believe your condition has become life threatening, always dial 000 for an ambulance to be dispatched to you urgently.

When the home doctor and chaperone arrives, they will provide you with treatment and administer medication that you may require to sustain you through the night or until you can obtain a prescription. Once our doctor has attended to your medical needs, you will be glad to know that all medication is provided at no cost to the patient and a treatment report will be sent to your regular doctor on the following business day.
