Accessible Telehealth in Darwin and the NT
Altuva makes it easier to access affordable, stigma-free telehealth care throughout Darwin and the Northern Territory. Our experienced doctors are authorised prescribers who support a wide range of ongoing health concerns, including sleep, chronic pain, and mental health*. With every consultation held online, you can connect with a qualified doctor from home, whether you’re based in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Alice Springs, or in a regional community further afield.
How Telehealth Works for Darwin Patients
You don’t need to travel, sit in a waiting room, or even get a referral to access great quality healthcare. With Altuva, your appointment is set up online in just a few steps.
1. Complete your pre-screening form
Start with our free screening form. It only takes a few minutes and gives our team the information they need to understand your medical history and health goals.
2. Book your appointment
Once we’ve reviewed your form, we’ll confirm your eligibility and reach out to arrange an appointment with a prescribing doctor. For most Darwin patients, this happens the same or the very next business day.
3. Meet your doctor online
Your 20-minute telehealth appointment is held over a secure video call. This is your time to talk openly with a qualified prescriber about your symptoms, your health history, and what you’re hoping to achieve. You won’t be rushed, and your doctor will make sure you leave the call with a clear plan for your next steps.
4. Get your script
If a treatment is prescribed, your eScript will be sent directly to your phone. You can choose to collect your medication locally if that’s convenient, or have it delivered quickly and securely to your door. StarTrack Express delivers across the NT, with most orders arriving the next business day.
Follow-ups and repeat prescriptions are just as easy to manage online. You’ll enjoy reliable continuity of care without the disruption of starting over each time.
Affordable Fixed-Fee Care
Healthcare should be affordable and transparent, and easily accessible to everyone in Australia. That’s why Altuva telehealth appointments in Darwin are charged at a flat rate of $59 every time.
That fee applies whether it’s your very first consultation, a follow-up, or a script renewal. We won’t charge sign-up fees or add unexpected costs later on. If you hold a concession card, you could also be eligible for discounted rates. With Altuva, you know exactly what to expect at every single appointment.
Quality Telehealth Australia-wide
Altuva supports patients right across the Northern Territory, from Darwin and Palmerston through to Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs. Living regionally or remotely shouldn’t mean missing out on timely healthcare, and with our fully online clinic, you can connect with a doctor from home, wherever that might be.
Our services extend nationwide, too. Altuva provides telehealth care in every major city and regional centre across Australia. We currently support patients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Gold Coast, and Cairns.

Q2: Can I use Altuva if I don’t live in Darwin?
A: Yes, you can. Altuva works with patients throughout the Northern Territory, from Palmerston and Katherine to Tennant Creek and Alice Springs. Living outside Darwin doesn’t limit your access to care, either. With our fully online clinic, you can:

Have prescriptions delivered securely and discreetly to you at home
