AHPRA-registered clinical review

How we earn and maintain your trust

Doctor verification, data protection, clinical governance, your rights, and the regulations we follow.

How we verify our doctors

Clinical reviews are performed by Ahpra-registered doctors under documented clinical governance.

AHPRA maintains a public register showing a practitioner's registration status, registration type, and any published conditions or undertakings.

InstantMed checks registration before clinical access is enabled and uses separate capability controls for certificate, prescription, specialty, and prescribing work.

Protecting your health information

Personal health information is protected with field-level AES-256-GCM encryption at rest and TLS in transit. Primary health records are stored on Australian-hosted infrastructure.

The Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles govern how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, secured, accessed, and corrected.

Clinical access is role-scoped. Doctors and the owner-admin can access records needed for care; support sees only bounded, masked operational data.

Our clinical governance framework

Clinical protocols, decision records, incidents, complaints, and edge cases sit within a documented governance framework.

We maintain clear scope-of-practice limitations: we don't prescribe Schedule 8 medications, we don't issue certificates for workers' compensation claims requiring physical examination, and we don't treat conditions that require hands-on assessment. Knowing what we shouldn't do is as important as knowing what we can.

Your request is assessed for suitability. If more information is needed, a doctor may contact you. Every prescription requires a decision by an Ahpra-registered doctor.

Your rights and our complaints process

We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours. Clinical complaints target resolution within 14 days. Email complaints@instantmed.com.au to start the process.

You have the right to escalate any complaint to the Health Complaints Commissioner in your state or territory. We won't make this difficult or bury the information - here it is, upfront. You also have the right to lodge a notification with AHPRA if you believe a doctor has behaved unprofessionally. We support your right to do both of these things, because accountability is how trust is built.

You pay upfront. If the doctor declines, the full request fee and priority fee are automatically refunded to the original payment method. You can also request access to records we hold about you, ask for corrections, and understand how your information has been used.

Regulatory compliance and standards

Approved electronic prescriptions use Australia's electronic-prescribing infrastructure. The patient presents the token to an Australian pharmacy, which applies its normal dispensing checks.

Medical certificates issued through InstantMed include the doctor's name, AHPRA registration number, date of assessment, and a unique verification ID that employers can check online. Employer and institution policies can vary, so we keep the document clear and verifiable rather than promising universal acceptance.

InstantMed is a private-pay service. Clinical records, informed consent, practitioner registration, prescribing rules, privacy obligations, and the limitations of remote assessment still apply.

Your request is assessed for suitability. If more information is needed, a doctor may contact you. Every prescription requires a decision by an Ahpra-registered doctor. Read our clinical governance framework.
