DoctorDoctor Information

DoctorDoctor is an after-hours medical service provider. Formerly known as the Australian Locum Medical Service (ALMS), the company has been providing in-home, after hours care to patients of GPs for nearly half a century. It was the first service of its kind in Melbourne and Perth. Our services are now available in Brisbane and Sydney as well. In 2016 ALMS was restructured as DoctorDoctor. The purpose was to deliver our vision of connected care – accessible and affordable after hours care, complementing the services of the daytime GP. This coordinated and collaborative relationship results in the best outcome for patients who get a high quality, seamless experience. We believe that GPs can provide their patients with the best medical care. However, sometimes patients need medical care after hours. This is where DoctorDoctor can help. Our qualified and experienced staff will triage calls from patients and send the details to our doctors in the field. Our doctor will then call prior to arrival, treat patients in their home and keep their GP informed with a detailed report. The next day, the daytime GP can take over confident that the patient was well cared for in their absence. That’s connected care. Our medical services are bulk billed for patients with Medicare or Veterans Affairs.
