The clinic here closed its books 18 months ago … there's no doctor, and it'll take you three weeks to get an appointment. But I can get online and make an appointment with my Alternaleaf doctor for tomorrow.

My GP actually gave me Alternaleaf's name. There are so many options out there and I didn't know how to choose. The fact that he pointed me in a specific direction — and that it felt safe, legitimate, and respectable to try — made all the difference.

From the very first consultation, Alternaleaf made everything feel easier. There was no judgment, no stress — just support.

Every doctor I've seen here has actually gone through my file and seen what's going on with me … They actually sit down and listen to what my issues are.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve answered the questions patients ask most about our service and consultations.

How do Alternaleaf appointments work for transferring patients?

Most patients book a same-day nurse consult. If a doctor is available, you may be transferred directly to an Alternaleaf doctor during the same session. If not, you can book the next available appointment at a time that suits you. Our team will then arrange the transfer of your records to support continuity of care.

What if my current treatment option isn't available?

If your exact treatment isn’t available, your doctor will discuss suitable alternative options with you.

Do I have to contact my previous clinic myself?

No. With your consent, our team will handle the discharge and request your medical records for you. If we don't hear back from your clinic, you may need to contact them directly.

Is there an additional fee to switch?

No. Transfer administration is provided as part of our patient support service.

What are your appointment hours and availability?

We offer extended appointment availability across the week, with consultations available 365 days a year to help make care more accessible and convenient. New patient appointments are generally available from 7am–9pm weekdays and 9am–5pm on weekends (AEST), with doctor consultations often available up to 10pm. Our nursing team is also available across extended weekday and Saturday hours to provide ongoing support.*
