Who Cannot Use Abby Health?

🚫 If you do not have a Medicare card – Abby’s telehealth services are Medicare-funded, so patients without Medicare will need to explore private telehealth options.

🚫 If you require emergency care – Abby is not an emergency service. If you have severe symptoms, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or a medical emergency, call 000 or visit the nearest hospital.

🚫 If you need restricted medications – Abby cannot prescribe painkillers, ADHD medications, benzodiazepines, or other Schedule 8 drugs due to Australian telehealth laws.

💡 Need a specialist referral? Abby doctors can provide referrals for dermatologists, psychologists, endocrinologists, and other specialists, but you must have a Medicare card to qualify for bulk billing.
