Functional Medicine · Online consultations
Want to understand why you feel unwell, not just manage the symptoms? At Scripted Clinic you can access functional medicine consultations online with an AHPRA-registered doctor who takes a whole-person, root-cause approach to your health. Available anywhere in Australia by phone, with no referral and no waiting list. Your first consultation is $0.
Functional medicine is a whole-person approach that looks for the root causes of your symptoms, such as diet, sleep, stress and lifestyle, rather than treating them in isolation. At Scripted Clinic you can access functional medicine consultations online with an AHPRA-registered doctor, anywhere in Australia, with a $0 initial consultation.
Functional medicine looks at how your body systems work together and seeks the underlying drivers of your symptoms, factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, digestion and your health history, rather than focusing on a single symptom in isolation. It is a complementary approach, designed to work alongside your usual GP care, not replace it. At Scripted Clinic, your doctor takes the time to understand your history and goals before working with you on a personalised, evidence-informed plan.
Areas of focus
People commonly explore a functional medicine approach for areas such as:
Running on empty despite a full night in bed. A consultation explores the diet, sleep, movement and lifestyle factors that may be contributing.
Bloating, irregularity and general gut comfort. Your practitioner considers how diet, routine and stress may be affecting your digestion.
Trouble winding down, restless nights, or waking unrefreshed. Your practitioner looks at the routine, nutrition and stress patterns that may be affecting how you sleep.
Everyday pressure and feeling stretched thin. Some people find that lifestyle and nutritional support, discussed with a practitioner, helps them feel steadier day to day.
Cycle-related concerns and the everyday symptoms that come with them, discussed in a full consultation rather than a rushed appointment.
Staying well rather than waiting to feel unwell. Nutrition, lifestyle and habit changes reviewed with a qualified practitioner.
Whether a particular approach suits you is always an individual clinical decision made with your practitioner.

How it works
A short, confidential questionnaire about your health and goals.
Choose a phone appointment at a time that suits you.
Your doctor reviews your history, lifestyle and goals and discusses options with you.
If appropriate, you receive a personalised, evidence-informed plan, with follow-up support.
Every consultation is with an AHPRA-registered doctor, experienced in natural and integrative health, who takes an evidence-informed approach and works alongside your existing medical care.
Our approach
We are honest about what natural medicine can and cannot do. Our practitioners draw on both traditional knowledge and current research, are clear about the evidence, and will tell you when a conventional medical approach is the more appropriate path.
Any recommendation is made after an individual assessment, is designed to complement your usual GP care rather than replace it, and comes with no guaranteed outcomes. You are always encouraged to keep your GP informed.
Your first appointment
Your first appointment is a conversation, not a prescription. Together you will discuss options, and, if a plan is appropriate for you, your practitioner will explain what it involves and how follow-up works. There is no obligation to proceed.
It helps to have a list of anything you currently take, including over-the-counter supplements, in front of you when you join the call.
Pricing
No subscriptions, no lock-in, no upsells. Simple
Your first consultation with an AHPRA-registered doctor or qualified practitioner costs nothing. Your health journey should have no barrier to entry.
Ongoing consultations to monitor progress, adjust your plan, and make sure your treatment is actually working.
