NewDoc vs hub.health

NewDoc vs hub.health at a glance

Both are Australian online doctor services, but they charge differently. hub.health covers general health, women's health, men's health, sleep, and skincare, and prices each item separately per its own site: telehealth consult $49, prescription $35, medical certificate $24.95, sleep consult $49, contraception consult $35. It's open 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days.

NewDoc bills Medicare instead of you. If you're an eligible cardholder, the consultation and anything issued in it cost you nothing out of pocket.

Here's how the two compare on what you actually pay and what you get, checked as at 8 August 2026.

When NewDoc fits

If you're Medicare eligible, bulk billing costs you less, and the gap widens the more you need. NewDoc is the better fit if:

• You're Medicare eligible and want $0 out of pocket for the visit and anything issued in it.
• You want a fellowship-qualified, Australian-trained GP specifically, rather than a mix of doctors and nurse practitioners.
• You're managing an ongoing condition and want every review, blood test order, and repeat script bulk billed.
• You want a mental health care plan included in the bulk-billed visit.
• You need a few things in one visit, without per-item fees stacking up.

When hub.health might fit

hub.health covers a lot of ground, and there are situations where it's the better choice:

• You're not Medicare eligible and want a published price list you can compare against up front.
• You're after one of the areas they package directly, like sleep, skincare, or women's and men's health.
• You need one specific thing and would rather pay a single item price than book a consultation.

Worked example: a year of repeat scripts

Say you're Medicare eligible and need eight repeat prescriptions over a year. On the publicly listed prices as at 8 August 2026:

• At NewDoc: $0 for the year. Each consultation is bulk billed and your eScript is included.
• At hub.health: eight prescriptions at $35 each comes to $280 for the year.

For a one-off need the gap is much smaller. It's ongoing care where the per-item fees quietly add up, while at NewDoc your consultation and anything issued in it stay $0 if you're Medicare eligible.
