In a joint venture between
Telstra Health and Swiss
telemedicine provider Medgate, a
new ‘ReadyCare’ 24-hour seven-day
GP telemedicine service has gone
live from a purpose-built facility in
Sydney’s Alexandria.
As well as eventually targeting
consumers, the business has signed
a major corporate contract with
travel insurance firm Cover-More,
which insures 1.8 million travellers
and handles 35,000 medical
episodes annually.

registered Australian GPs for the

prescriptions and have them faxed
to a patient’s nearest pharmacy for
dispensing.
Telstra Health is also a major
shareholder in pharmacy software
