Prevention is better than cure. Consider these tips to stay healthy. Whilst periodic check ups are important, you want to do all you can to see your doctor when necessary:

Eat balanced meals to maintain a healthy weight. Cut out saturated fats and include more veggies and fruits in your diet.

Exercise regularly to keep health issues, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity at bay.

Get your daily dose of sleep to fend off problems such as depression, fatigue and weak immunity.

Avoid excessive smoking and alcohol consumption for healthy lungs, stomach, liver and pancreas.

Keep track of your vital signs at home—blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and blood sugar levels. There are many watches, gadgets and other electronic devices to help track this.

Consider herbal alternative remedies. Speak to the best doctors who follow eastern medicine practices and philosophies about trying out herbal treatments.

When you do need to visit a medical practitioner, our online listings will help you find a doctor that you’re most comfortable with. Keep on searching and don’t forget to compare quotes for family and local doctors. Your health is everything.

Doctors - Common Questions

Can I make a same-day appointment with a doctor?

The best way to secure a same-day appointment with a doctor is to call the practice and ask if they are able to see you on that day.
You can find the contact details for doctors near you on the Yellow Pages site.

Can I book an appointment online?

It is rather common for doctors' websites have online booking forms nowadays.
You can use Yellow Pages to find doctors near you, then visit their website to book your appointment.

Do doctors do home visits?

Some doctors in Australia do home visits. Contact an out-of-hours nurse or GP and they will take your details and ask you about your symptoms. A home visit will be arranged if they think you are too ill to leave your house.

How to find bulk billing doctors and medical practitioners?

Not all GP appointments are bulk billed. It's always best to ring up and confirm with the appointment booker and have your Medicare card ready.

Do I need insurance to see a doctor?

You don't need insurance to see a doctor in Australia. However, the costs for medical expenses can get quite high if you are not covered, especially for foreign visitors.
