Many men put off seeing a doctor because it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable. Telehealth changes that.
At Clinic Online, you can speak privately with an AHPRA-registered Australian GP about any aspect of your health — from erectile dysfunction to hair loss to general wellbeing — without ever stepping foot in a clinic.
Speak to a Men's Health Doctor
Clinic Online's men's health consultations are discreet telehealth appointments with AHPRA-registered Australian GPs covering erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low testosterone, hair loss, sexual health and general men's wellbeing — with e-script prescriptions and referrals issued in the same consult where clinically appropriate.
Nearly half of Australian men aged over 40 experience some degree of erectile dysfunction at some point — yet many never bring it up at a GP visit because sitting in a waiting room to discuss it feels confronting. Telehealth removes that barrier without removing the medical rigour.
You speak privately with an AHPRA-registered Australian GP — camera off if you prefer — who takes a proper medical history, checks safety factors such as cardiovascular risk and nitrate use, and, if it is clinically appropriate, issues a same-day e-script for sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or whichever treatment best suits your situation. No subscriptions. No form-based medicine. No pharmacy lock-in.
One flat consultation price. No subscriptions. No monthly auto-ship fees. You pay for the consult — your e-script goes to any Australian pharmacy.
Most straightforward GP consultations — prescriptions, medical certificates, single-issue advice and referrals.
Longer, more complex consultations — mental health reviews, multiple issues, chronic condition management or in-depth investigations.
Medicare: Medicare rebates may apply for eligible consultations — availability depends on your individual circumstances and current Commonwealth telehealth rules. Your GP will let you know during the consultation whether your consult is rebate-eligible.
No subscriptions. No form-based medicine. You only ever pay for the consultation you have — there's nothing to cancel and nothing recurring.
Telehealth works brilliantly for most men's health concerns. A few situations need a hands-on in-person check first — being upfront about which is which keeps prescribing safe.
A plain-English comparison of the three main ways Australian men can access ED and men's health medication today.
| What matters | Clinic Online | In-person GP | Form-based telehealth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed to speak with a men's health GP | Usually within 5 minutes — completely private | 1 to 10 days for an appointment, plus the walk through the waiting room | No — questionnaire review only |
| Real conversation with an AHPRA-registered GP | Yes — live video or phone. | Yes | No — questionnaire review only |
| ED medication prescribed after clinical assessment | Yes — sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), where safe | Yes | Yes — but no discussion regarding risks. |
| Full history and medication safety check | Yes — cardiovascular risk, current medications, nitrates check | Yes | Limited to the form you fill in |
| Pharmacy choice | Your local pharmacy — any Australian pharmacy accepts the e-script | Your local pharmacy | Some are locked to the provider's own dispensing partner, some also provide a choice of pharmacy |
| Hair loss treatment (finasteride, minoxidil) | Yes — where clinically appropriate | Yes | Yes, often subscription-based |
| Subscription lock-in | No — pay per consult, never locked in | No | Often — auto-ship monthly, fees keep recurring |
| Price (per consultation) | From $45 up to 10 minutes; $59 beyond 10 minutes | Varies — average medicare gap fee $55 | From $35 to $90 on average |
Comparison reflects typical patient experience — actual times, fees and availability vary by clinic, location and clinical circumstances.
Clear answers about ED, Viagra, Cialis, testosterone, hair loss and confidentiality.
Yes — when clinically appropriate. Your Clinic Online GP will take a short history (including cardiovascular risk factors, current medications and whether you take nitrates), discuss how sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) work, and prescribe the medication best suited to your situation if it is safe to do so. The e-script is sent to your phone and can be dispensed at any Australian pharmacy.
Erectile dysfunction is frequently a symptom of a broader health issue — cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep apnoea, low testosterone, depression or a side effect of medication. A form-only service that ships tablets without a real conversation can miss these underlying conditions. A short, discreet GP consultation identifies (and often treats) the actual cause, not just the symptom.
Yes — absolutely. Your consultation and clinical notes are stored in a secure, Australian-hosted medical records system. Nothing is shared with your partner, employer, family or insurer. If privacy is a concern, you are welcome to keep your camera off during the call; your GP just needs to hear you clearly.
Yes. Your GP can discuss the full range of evidence-based treatments — including behavioural techniques, topical anaesthetic products, and prescription medications such as dapoxetine (Priligy) or off-label use of certain antidepressants (for example sertraline) — and help you decide which approach best fits your situation. Any prescription is issued only after a proper clinical discussion.
Yes, where clinically appropriate. Your GP will discuss how each medication works, realistic expectations (6–12 months to judge results), potential side effects, and whether it makes sense to start now or first investigate any underlying causes of hair loss. No subscriptions, no lock-in — a single e-script valid at any Australian pharmacy.
Yes. After discussing your symptoms (low libido, fatigue, mood changes, poor sleep, weight gain) your GP can issue a pathology e-referral for a morning blood test including total testosterone, SHBG, free testosterone, FSH and LH. Results come back to your GP in 1–3 days, and a short follow-up telehealth consult lets the GP explain what the numbers mean and whether further investigation or treatment is appropriate.
Your Clinic Online GP will usually suggest investigating — this might include a baseline blood-pressure reading, a pathology referral for fasting glucose, HbA1c, cholesterol, testosterone and thyroid, and in some cases a cardiology referral. Treating an underlying condition often improves sexual function without ongoing ED medication. Your GP will walk you through what makes sense for your situation.
We think so — but the decision is yours. Subscription services lock you into monthly auto-ship billing, often from a single dispensing partner, with a questionnaire instead of a GP conversation. Clinic Online is pay-per-consult, your script goes to any Australian pharmacy, and you actually speak with a registered Australian doctor who can look beyond the single symptom. No subscriptions. No form-based medicine.
Men's health often overlaps with sexual health, pathology (hormone testing) and general GP care. Explore the related telehealth services below.
