Doctors for Weight Loss provides telehealth consultations with Australian-registered doctors for people seeking doctor-led weight management. Each consultation includes an individual clinical assessment.

Advice, prescriptions, pathology requests and referrals are provided only when the consulting doctor considers them clinically appropriate.
