"Time Saver – I use this service for basic blood works. Instead of having to book with a doctor, or wait hours at a bulk billing clinic, I pay a small fee for the convenience of just turning up at the pathology with my request on my phone. It's very easy to use, fast and efficient."

-Christopher W.

"Very satisfied with the service. Once application is submitted, after a few minutes the doctor called. Prescriptions and medical certificates were sent immediately. Doctor was accommodating and friendly and nice." 


- Yvonne 

"Thank you Instant scripts for your loyal service. For making it easy for those who don't have a car or maybe not the money to travel to a GP for a basic medical certificate. Your work makes so many people's lives easier. Thank you again."

Frequently asked questions

What's a specialist referral?

A specialist referral is a written request from a doctor to send you to someone with more specific expertise when they feel it's needed. This may be required for Medicare and to book an appointment with a specialist.

What specialist referrals can InstantScripts provide?

InstantScripts can provide specialist referrals to dermatologists (skin), gastroenterologists (gut) and ophthalmologists (eyes) for common conditions.

We can also provide further specialist referrals after telehealth consultation with one of our doctor.

There are some conditions, which may require a physical examination, which we cannot offer referrals for, and you should see your regular doctor.

When will I receive my specialist referral?

Once you have filled out our online form, and a doctor has assessed your request and deemed it clinically appropriate, referrals for common conditions can be sent within minutes.

If you require a doctor consultation, it may take a little longer, up to a few hours but we aim to get to everyone as quickly as possible.
