About this listen

Navigating the Australian healthcare system can feel confusing when you’re new. In this episode, we break down how to book a GP appointment—whether it’s through an online portal, a clinic’s reception desk, or apps like HotDoc. You’ll learn why the GP (General Practitioner) is your first stop for almost all medical needs, including prescriptions and health checks. We’ll also explain how referrals to specialists work, why they’re essential for Medicare rebates, and what to expect in terms of wait times and out-of-pocket costs. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or just need peace of mind, this guide will help you access the right care without unnecessary stress.
