We say it because it's true and substantiable. Below, the sources, the comparison, and the honest caveats. No fine print.

What 'faster' means here
We're not a faster doctor. We're a faster path to the same kind of doctor. AHPRA-registered, evidence-based, fully accountable. The speed comes from removing booking friction, not from cutting clinical corners.
Three steps. The form does the heavy lifting so the doctor can review it efficiently.
Three to five minutes for most patients. The form is built to capture what a doctor needs to make a clinical decision, in your own words and at your own pace.
Requests can be submitted 24/7. A doctor reviews when available, and you get an email as soon as there is an update.
Issued, declined, or follow-up question. If declined, the refund fires automatically the same instant the doctor records the decision.

If 'faster than your GP' is going to be the brand line, the caveats need to be just as visible.
Every request is reviewed by an AHPRA-registered Australian GP. No algorithmic auto-approval, no AI-only decisions.
Our published delivery time (~44 min) is the median across recent requests, not a marketing minimum. Half are faster, half are slower.
AHPRA registration, evidence-based protocols, full clinical accountability. Speed comes from the absence of booking friction, not the absence of rigour.
Some things still need an in-person doctor. When that's the case, our doctor tells you and refunds your fee. We do not stretch the form to cover what it shouldn't.
Straight answers on the comparison, the methodology, and the limits.
