A general practitioner is the doctor you see first for almost anything. NuHealth lists GPs, each reviewed by our team, with their location, fees and open times, so you can find one close to you and book in a few taps.
Allow your location and the directory lists the nearest GPs first — or search a town or suburb instead.
Each profile shows where the GP practises, their fee, languages and whether they also consult by video.
Open times come from the doctor’s own diary, so the booking is confirmed straight away.
A GP treats everyday illness and injury — coughs, infections, rashes, aches and pains — and looks after ongoing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and asthma.
A GP can prescribe medicine, issue a sick note, order tests and refer you to a specialist when you need one. Most people should start with a GP rather than a specialist.
See a GP for problems that need attention today or this week but are not life-threatening.
Go to an emergency unit, or call 10177 (112 from a cell phone), for chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke such as a drooping face or weak arm, severe bleeding, a serious injury or a child who is very drowsy or floppy.
Open the clinician directory and choose General Practitioner. With your location allowed, the nearest GPs come first; otherwise search your town or suburb, or open your city’s page from the list of areas below.
