Getting started
How Leaf Doctors Works
Complete an eligibility check and choose a time that suits you for a consultation with a Leaf Doctor. We provide same day and after hours consultations for patients who need to speak to a doctor outside of the 9- 5.
Get your personalised treatment plan. After your telehealth consultation with the doctor, we’ll determine eligibility and you’ll then receive a tailored treatment plan. We customise every treatment to the health conditions of each patient, and we’ll set up a follow-up consultation with your doctor to review your progress and adjust your plan as needed once treatment has begun.
We provide fast delivery on all prescriptions across South Australia and Adelaide, with confidentiality in mind – discreet, private packaging.
Ongoing care. We do follow-up consultations to review your progress, review your response to the treatment, renew any prescriptions, and make adjustments where required. This ensures we can provide ongoing medical support for chronic or complex conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Leaf Doctor’s appointment differ from a regular visit to the GP?
Leaf Doctors will provide access to an appointment with an Australian AHPRA-registered doctor. It will offer the same clinical care you’d expect from visiting your GP, however this appointment will be conducted completely online via telehealth. Rather than a general medical visit, our doctors have experience in natural and holistic approaches to healthcare. Your doctor will discuss your medical history, your areas of concern, your suitability for alternative medicine, and what treatment may look like if eligible. The main difference is that you can then easily manage your prescription, your appointments, and your healthcare with Leaf Doctors through an online platform, providing convenience and accessibility wherever you are in South Australia.
Why doesn’t Leaf Doctors discuss natural medicines by name?
Leaf Doctors is committed to providing ethical and compliant healthcare solutions to South Australians. We adhere to strict regulations set by the Australian TGA, which means we’re unable to advertise or disclose specific treatment names until you have spoken to one of our medical professionals. Once you have undergone an eligibility assessment and we deem that you are a suitable candidate, your doctor will then discuss the available options with you before making any decisions. We want to make sure our patients are as educated and as informed as possible before making any decisions on their healthcare. We also want to reduce the stigma around alternative medicines and ensure you are aware of what’s available, but also what may be more suited to your health concerns, rather than using blanket statements.
Is alternative healthcare legal in South Australia?
Yes, alternative medicines are legal in Australia when provided by an authorised prescriber. All of our doctors are AHPRA-registered practitioners who follow professional standards set by the Medical Board of Australia and the TGA in relation to any prescribed treatments.
Is it legal to drive with treatment in South Australia?
In South Australia, it is an offence to drive with THC present in your system, including where it is from a legally prescribed medicine. THC may remain detectable after its effects have worn off. Your doctor will discuss any relevant driving considerations with you during your consultation.
How do I prepare for a telehealth consultation?
All telehealth conversations are conducted over the phone. You’ll be given an allotted time where the GP is expected to call you, so it’s important that you set aside some time to answer and talk to your doctor at the time of your appointment. You don’t need a referral or any medical scans or notes. Ensure you have the information ready to discuss your medical history, symptoms, and any current medications or previous treatments. Your GP will ask you a set of questions, but there’s nothing you necessarily need to prepare or bring to your appointment.
How does a doctor determine whether I am eligible?
At Leaf Doctors, we follow the standards required by the Medical Board of Australia to ensure we’re only ever recommending treatments that are suited to each patient. During your consultation, the doctor will talk you through the conditions or symptoms you’re seeking help with and how long you’ve been experiencing them, any conventional or other treatments you’ve already tried and which worked and which didn’t, your medical history, any medicines you currently take, whether you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, and any other lifestyle factors such as driving or operating heavy machinery. This helps the doctor determine what kind of treatment might be suitable for your areas of concern and whether alternative natural medicine is safe and suitable for you. We’ll provide a medical history form before the appointment so we have all of this information on paper before we get started.
How often do I need follow-up appointments?
Leaf Doctors will recommend how often it’s required to check in. It usually occurs before your prescription runs out or whenever your needs change to adjust the treatment. Regular follow-ups allow our doctors to review progress and check in, ensuring your treatment is going to plan. All consultations and follow-up appointments are free and you can book them anytime in your patient portal.
