Telehealth for Busy Families During School Holidays

School holidays are a fun and exciting time of year, but for many families, they also mean disrupted routines, packed schedules, and juggling work, activities, and child care. When a child starts to feel unwell or a family member needs a medical check-up, finding the time to visit a clinic can feel impossible.

That’s where Our Sage Telehealth makes life easier. With fast access to Australian-registered GPs from your device, telehealth gives busy families the convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind they need during the school break.

Why Telehealth Works So Well During School Holidays

1. Quick care for minor illnesses

Kids often pick up colds, coughs, sore throats, and stomach bugs. And school holidays are no exception. Telehealth is a great option for managing many minor conditions without needing to sit in a waiting room or rearrange your day.

Telehealth GPs can help with:

• Colds and flu-like symptoms
• Tummy troubles and mild gastro symptoms
• Allergies and hay fever
• Referrals to imaging

You can speak to a GP from home, the car, a holiday rental, or anywhere you have service.

2. Stress-free medical certificates, carer’s certificates, scripts and repeat prescriptions

If you or your child is unwell and needs time to rest, telehealth GPs can provide you with a medical certificate or carer’s certificate for work. Parents can also manage their own health needs during this busy period, including requesting scripts or repeat prescriptions.

3. Healthcare that fits your family’s schedule

Whether the kids are at the movies, playing sport, visiting friends, or simply keeping you busy at home, telehealth slots easily into your day. Our Sage is available every day from 7am to 11pm(AEST/AEDT), making it easier than ever to manage health concerns at a time that suits you.

No driving. No waiting rooms. No stress.
