Femma is a service for women in Australia over the age of 18. It is a clinically led,  evidence-based, healthcare platform, with a multi-disciplinary approach to diagnosis, treatment and education of women’s health issues. You do not need a medicare card to access the service. As a digital service, it is not suitable for all health concerns, as some complex conditions need face to face GP consultations. Please see What We Treat to see if the service is suitable for your needs.

The treatment plan may include a prescription, over the counter products, specialist referrals, and lifestyle information and services.

Yes, Medicare currently recognizes sexual and Reproductive Health as an area that currently receives medicare rebates for video telehealth consultations. Medicare has recognised this up until July 2023 before it is being reviewed.

Femma patients whose bank details are registered with Medicare will automatically receive the relevant rebate into that account following payment. (*This rebate will be paid electronically into your nominated bank account. Please be aware that this can take up to 7 days to process)

*Please note that it is your responsibility to register your details with medicare to receive any applicable rebates.

You may be able to claim some or all of your medication cost through your private health insurance (this will depend on your individual policy) . If you need a receipt to file a claim, please sign into your account and download a receipt or contact careteam@femma.com.au for further information.

General questions can be submitted to our “ask the expert?” forum and relevant health professionals can reply with generalised advice. Doctors however, will not respond to specific requests as this confidential information should not be in a public forum.  Individual concerns that relate to your personal health should always be raised during one of your Associate Doctor consultations.  This means they can be recorded properly in your medical notes and you get the best advice and then care you need.

 No, you can utilise Femma without a referral.

To book a video consultation you need to be a subscribed Femma member and have completed the text based consultation first. 

If, after this process, you would like to have a video consultation please email careteam@femma.com.au to make an appointment. The GP Specialist will commit to the allocated time and as a result you will receive an invoice for your consultation prior to your appointment. (We cannot guarantee that the same doctor who reviewed your text consultation will be able to fulfil the video consultation but the doctor you see  will have access to your text consultation notes)

Once this is paid, the appointment will be confirmed and you will receive a message to your registered  email address with your consultation link and details about your  GP specialist.

We do understand that at times, you may need to reschedule your appointment. If  you  give us at least 24 hours notice we will reschedule the appointment without any financial penalties.

• If you fail to attend or cancel your appointment within 2 hours prior of your appointment time you will be  charged 100% of the fee in order to pay for the GP’s allocated time
• If you cancel your appointment between 24hrs and 2hrs prior to your appointment you will be  charged 50% of the fee in order to pay for the GP’s allocated time.

Please email careteam@femma.com.au with the email subject marked video appointment cancellation

In order to maximise your time with an Associate Doctor we ask all Femma members to have completed the relevant  consultation module for their main reason . This allows your medical history to be recorded prior to the video and for you to focus the consultation time on the issue that you wish to discuss.

In order to have a prescription treatment you will have to be a subscribed Femma member and have completed a consultation with an Associate Doctor. As in any consultation the Associate Doctor will provide you with a Treatment Plan and we cannot guarantee the outcome of that consultation or which treatments will be  recommended or prescribed. 

As part of the Femma member services you can choose for our Pharmacy Partner to fulfil any prescriptions that are in your Treatment Plan, with convenient delivery to your door.

If you are on medication prescribed by another provider you will need to have a consultation with a Femma Associate Doctor in order to see if that prescription is safe for you, before it is prescribed.

If you choose to use a pharmacy other than a Femma Associate Pharmacy to fulfil your prescription,  please forward your request to pharmacy@femma.com.au.

If you are prescribed a medication which isn’t available in the Femma Associate Pharmacies, your doctor will advise you of this and explain how you will receive your prescription.

Yes, we will remind you when your next appointment is available.

Femma associate doctors conduct video consultations.  There are occasions when your symptoms require an in person appointment.  If this happens, your doctor will advise you of this and the reasons and will also put this in your plan.  You will then be able to discuss the recommendation with your own GP or service provider recommended by your Femma Associate GP.

In the case of urgent medical issues please call ‘000’.

If you agree, we can inform your GP of the outcome of your consultation by letter.  We can also upload information to your health record online, if you have agreed to this.

Yes, If necessary your Associate Doctor can make onward referrals to specialists, request pathology or diagnostic  imaging where necessary.

We cannot guarantee that you will be able to consult with the same associate doctor. However we will attempt to facilitate this if the relevant doctor has availability. Please email careteam@femma.com.au to discuss.

Femma is complementary to—not a replacement for—your general practitioner. So it’s important to keep your regular GP and any other doctors involved in your care. It is recommended to visit your doctor to review your symptoms and health history once you have finished your Femma Treatment plan.

We believe in an integrated approach. If you agree, we can also update your regular clinicians about their management plan. To fulfil privacy laws, we will need this agreement in writing.  Please email careteam@femma.com.au.

Yes, we do understand that at times, you may need to reschedule your appointment. If  you  give us at least 24 hours notice we will reschedule the appointment without any financial penalties.

If you cancel your appointment between 24hrs  and 2hrs you will be  charged 50% of the fee in order to pay for the GP’s allocated time.
