← Compare all providers

Speed and accessibility

InstantScripts' main advantage is speed. Consultations are often available within the hour, and the service runs until midnight AEST — far later than most competitors. For patients who work long hours or need weekend access, this extended availability is a significant benefit.

Owned by Telstra Health

InstantScripts is now part of Telstra Health, giving it the backing of one of Australia's largest companies. This provides stability and infrastructure that smaller providers can't match. The platform is well-built and the consultation booking process is streamlined.

The trade-off

Consultations can feel rushed at 10–15 minutes. InstantScripts is a generalist telehealth platform — weight loss is one of many services they offer, which means the doctors may be less specialised in obesity medicine compared to dedicated weight loss providers like Juniper or Hub Health. For straightforward prescriptions this is fine; for complex health situations, a specialist provider may be better.
