Doctor-Led Medical Weight Loss Online — The Clinical Difference

Unlike many online weight loss services, Doctors for Weight Loss provides doctor-led online weight loss treatment through real video consultations with experienced Australian GPs.

Your doctor reviews your medical history, assesses what’s appropriate for your health, and creates a genuinely personalised plan — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

If medication is clinically appropriate, you may receive an eScript sent directly to your phone. Your doctor can also arrange pathology, sleep studies, and referrals to allied health professionals where needed.

Follow-up appointments can be booked as required, depending on your individual needs and stage of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Weight Loss Treatment

What is online medical weight loss treatment?

Online medical weight loss treatment involves speaking with a qualified doctor via telehealth to assess your health, discuss treatment options, and create a personalised weight management plan.

Depending on your needs, this may include prescription treatment, pathology testing, lifestyle support, and ongoing GP follow-up care.

Can doctors prescribe weight loss treatment online?

If your doctor determines that prescription treatment is clinically appropriate after your video consultation, they can issue an eScript sent directly to your phone.

Due to Australian TGA and AHPRA regulations, we cannot name specific medications on our website — your GP will discuss suitable options during your appointment, including the potential benefits and risks.

How does online weight loss treatment work?

Book an appointment online, then speak with an AHPRA-registered GP via secure video consultation from home.

Your doctor reviews your medical history and weight loss goals, then creates a personalised plan. If prescription treatment is appropriate, you may receive an eScript sent directly to your phone and can fill it at any pharmacy.

Follow-up appointments can be booked anytime.

Can I receive eScripts for weight loss treatment online?

If your doctor determines that prescription treatment is appropriate, eScripts can be sent directly to your phone following your video consultation.

You can then fill your prescription at any Australian pharmacy of your choice.

How is this different from other online weight loss services?

Some online weight loss services rely primarily on questionnaires or brief consultations.

Doctors for Weight Loss uses video-first GP consultations with AHPRA-registered Australian doctors — giving you the clinical depth of a real doctor visit, from home.

We’re doctor-founded, powered by Qoctor (one of Australia’s most established telehealth providers with over 500,000 consultations since 2017), and operate on a flexible pay-per-visit model with no lock-in subscriptions.

How much does online weight loss treatment cost?

Initial consultations are $89.99 and follow-up consultations are $59.99.

There are no lock-in subscriptions or ongoing fees. You fill your prescription at any pharmacy of your choice — we don’t require you to use a specific pharmacy or delivery service.

How quickly can I get started?

Same-day appointments are typically available.

Book online, speak with a GP via video consultation, and if appropriate, receive your eScript the same day. No referral is needed to book your initial consultation.

Is online medical weight loss safe?

When overseen by a qualified health professional, such as a GP, yes.

Your doctor will assess your health history, explain any risks, and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you specifically. All care follows Australian clinical guidelines.

Prescription treatment is only provided when clinically appropriate — not automatically.

Are online weight loss consultations legal and regulated in Australia?

Yes. Online weight loss consultations in Australia must be conducted by appropriately registered healthcare professionals.

All Doctors for Weight Loss consultations are provided by AHPRA-registered Australian doctors via secure telehealth consultations, following Australian clinical guidelines and prescribing regulations.

What conditions can affect my weight management plan?

Your GP will assess your overall health as part of your consultation.

Weight can be linked to a range of conditions including pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, PCOS, mental health and others.

Your doctor can arrange pathology, sleep studies, and referrals where appropriate as part of your personalised plan.

Can patients outside major cities use the service?

Yes — our telehealth service is available to patients anywhere in Australia, including regional and remote areas.

eScripts are sent directly to your phone and can be filled at any pharmacy. Unlike some services that only focus on metro delivery, you choose your own pharmacy.
