Doctors for Weight Loss is powered by Qoctor, a telehealth service founded by Aussie GPs in 2017. With over 500,000 video appointments delivered to date, we’re a leading and trusted Australian telehealth provider. Unlike some other online services, Doctors for Weight Loss is more like seeing your local doctor
You can have a proper consultation, discuss tests, receive advice, prescriptions and referrals, as required based on your assessment.
No hidden costs or subscriptions
Just the care & treatment you need, when you need it.
Our telehealth service offers same-day consultations with AHPRA-registered doctors to discuss your weight and health. We can arrange pathology tests (e.g., sleep studies for sleep apnoea) and offer telehealth support from dietitians, psychologists, exercise experts and specialists if needed.
Yes, our doctors are all AHPRA-registered doctors, with a special interest in assisting patients in weight management. They can address your questions about common medications, pathology tests, referrals as well as collaborating with dietitians and other experts to contribute to your personalised plans.
Book an online appointment for a video call with a GP from home. Get eScripts sent to your phone and referrals for tests if needed. Choose one-off visits or choose one of our membership options for special value, which include exclusive webinars with our Aussie GPs, dietitians, and psychologists."
After assessment, your GP may recommend medications, lifestyle changes, and/or referrals to dietitians, psychologists or other specialists. We can also arrange tests like sleep studies, all tailored to your needs. Due to Australian law, we cannot discuss specific medicines on our website, but if you have a particular treatment in mind, your doctor will be happy to discuss this with you.
Our pricing is transparent, and allows you to pay as you go- i.e. there are no lock-in subscriptions or recurring fees. You are free to obtain your prescription medication from your local pharmacy at a time that suits you, and you can discuss how to take the medication, including self-injection if required. Your initial consultation with Doctors for Weight Loss costs $89.99 (as it takes a little extra time for the doctor to get your full history and go through an assessment), and then $59.99 for all subsequent review appointments. We'll have special value appointment bundles coming soon, to help you save.
No, just like a GP clinic- we can provide prescriptions instantly (via eScript) -which you are free to get filled at a pharmacy of your own choice, when you are ready to do so. In our experience, patients often need adjustments in their treatments, so it makes sense not to lock people into fixed deliveries. It also gives you more opportunity for in-person pharmacist advice, which enhances safety.
Prescription medications for weight loss are not suitable for everyone. And like any medical treatment, there may be some risks and side effects. Your doctor will discuss the pros & cons of treatment with you, and what to watch out for, if you decide to proceed.
