About 13SICK, National Home Doctor
Every family should have a GP that they know and trust. However, when you need urgent medical care, but your GP is closed, 13SICK, National Home Doctor can help. With more than 400 doctors in our team, 13SICK, National Home Doctor is Australia's largest network of home visiting doctors. Our Doctors treat patients with acute, episodic conditions (e.g. gastro, UTI, migraine, respiratory infections) on weeknights, weekends and public holidays. This year we will see more than 1 million patients at home and in aged care facilities.

We bulk bill all patients with a Medicare or Gold DVA card. All Doctors carry a bag stocked with starter packs of common medications, so in many cases, patients can start treatment immediately. Following the home visit, we send a medical report to the patient’s GP the next day, ensuring continuity of care.

More GPs across Australia trust 13SICK, National Home Doctor to care for their patients in the after hours. So, if you or a loved one needs to see a doctor urgently (and it’s not life-threatening), but your GP is closed, call 13SICK (that’s 13 7425) and save the hospital Emergency Department for emergencies.
Why us
Our Mission is “To provide exceptional healthcare when and where it is needed”.

We pride ourselves on clinical excellence and the delivery of exceptional service to patients. With services across Australian capital cities, we are constantly expanding our network and service delivery areas.

13SICK, National Home Doctor is Australia’s most trusted network of after hours, home visiting doctors. Our role is to provide treatment of acute, episodic illness and injury to patients at home, when they urgently need to see a doctor, but their GP is closed.

We are also helping relieve pressure on hospital Emergency Departments, delivering sustainable cost savings for taxpayers and better outcomes for the community at large.
