FAQs

How does my first consultation work?

chevron down arrow

Your first consultation varies based on whether you need physical or mental health care.

Physical health:
- Start with an accredited nurse for advice, treatment plans, and over-the-counter medication referrals.
- If more specialised care is needed, we’ll transfer you to a doctor seamlessly.
- A Standard Consultation costs R235, covering both nurse and doctor consultations. It’s the same for consultations for children over two years old.

We also offer Express Consultations for R235, covering:
- Contraception renewal
- Thrush treatment
- Hay fever treatment

If your condition requires more care, we can transfer you to a Standard Consultation.

Mental health:
-
A Mental Health Consultation costs R235, providing advice and counselling for anxiety, depression, stress, and more.
- If necessary, you may be referred to a doctor at no additional cost.

We provide prescriptions, sick notes, and referrals as needed.
