Phonemed allows its users to contact a doctor immediately at any time of the day or night 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Average waiting times in a typical Emergency Department are around 3-4 hours. Visiting a GP can often involve waiting several hours or even days. Through offering its users instant access to Australian Registered Doctors, Phonemed offers peace of mind when you need it most. PhoneMed is staffed with 50 doctors at any time of the day or night. If the doctor deems your situation an emergency he or she will refer you to the nearest emergency centre. Otherwise the doctor will provide you with some basic management advice and may refer you to your GP.
