How to read this table

Prices are monthly all-inclusive (medication + consultations + admin) unless otherwise noted. Ranges reflect typical dose-level variation (starter dose vs maintenance dose). Some providers price tier their dosages; others use flat monthly pricing.

"Not offered" means the platform does not currently prescribe that drug. This is usually a deliberate choice (some platforms focus on weight loss only and skip Ozempic to avoid the off-label discussion).

What is NOT in the bundle

Most telehealth bundles cover the medication, virtual consultations with prescribers, and basic admin/delivery. They typically do NOT include:

  • Baseline blood tests (your GP orders these separately via Medicare-billed pathology)
  • Specialist consultations (endocrinologist, gynaecologist)
  • Mental health support (most platforms offer add-on coaching)
  • Bariatric surgery referral if needed
  • Sharps disposal containers (you source separately)

Pricing levers that vary your final bill

  • Dose level. Higher-dose pens cost the same as starter pens, but maintenance phase costs more total because you stay on it longer.
  • Lock-in period. 3-6 month commitments often unlock 10-15% discounted pricing. Read cancellation terms.
  • Bundled add-ons. Smart scales, branded protein, vitamin packs are often optional but presented as default. Check the line items.
  • Specialist tier. Some platforms offer "premium" tiers with endocrinologist access at significant uplift. Usually not necessary for straightforward cases.
  • Geographic delivery. Remote areas may incur additional delivery fees for cold-chain shipping.

When telehealth is NOT the best option

  • You have type 2 diabetes and qualify for PBS Ozempic ($31.60/month, dramatically cheaper than any telehealth bundle).
  • You have complex comorbidities that warrant in-person specialist consultation.
  • You strongly prefer ongoing relationship with a single GP across all your healthcare needs.
  • You have unstable supply requirements that benefit from in-person pharmacy relationship.

For T2D patients specifically, the PBS Authority decision tree is the first step before considering any private pathway.

Common questions

Telehealth pricing: frequently asked questions

How accurate is this pricing data?

Pricing is captured from each provider’s public website on a monthly basis. Real prices may vary based on dose level, promotional offers, or individual circumstances. Treat the figures as indicative for comparison purposes. Always confirm current pricing directly with the provider before committing.

Which telehealth platform is cheapest?

Pricing is competitive across major platforms with overlapping ranges. The cheapest option depends on which medication you take and what is included in the bundle. Pure medication-only telehealth tends to be cheapest; full programs with coaching, app subscriptions, and monthly check-ins cost more but include more.

Are these prices for medication only or include consultations?

Telehealth bundles typically include medication + initial consultation + monthly review consultations + admin and delivery. Retail pharmacy + private GP costs are separate (GP $80-$200/visit, medication the private retail price (varies by pharmacy) for Ozempic). The bundled model is usually $50-$200/month cheaper than separate purchase.

How do I know if a telehealth platform is reputable?

Check that they use AHPRA-registered prescribers (listed on the AHPRA register), prescribe TGA-registered medication (not compounded), include baseline blood work, offer monthly check-ins, and have transparent pricing without lock-in contracts longer than 3 months.

Why is Ozempic missing or out of stock at some platforms?

Global Ozempic supply has been pressured by off-label weight loss demand. Platforms with strong supplier relationships often have better stock visibility. Some platforms have shifted focus to Wegovy and Mounjaro where supply is more reliable. Check stock availability before signing up.
