Alternative & holistic medicine · Online Australia-wide
Alternative and holistic medicine looks at your health as a whole, considering your body, lifestyle, environment and goals together, rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Holistic health and alternative medicine look at your health as a whole. Rather than isolating one symptom, a holistic consultation considers how your sleep, digestion, stress, diet and health history fit together, and what might be driving how you feel, before anything is recommended.
Holistic care puts that into practice. Instead of a quick appointment focused on one symptom, a consultation with a holistic doctor takes time to understand your history, your routine and what you would like to change. Many people searching for a holistic GP are looking for exactly this: more time and a whole-person conversation.
Alternative medicine and complementary medicine are often used to mean the same thing. We prefer complementary, because every approach is designed to work alongside conventional medicine and your own GP, not replace it. At Scripted Clinic, holistic and alternative healthcare is delivered by phone with AHPRA-registered doctors and qualified practitioners, anywhere in Australia.
What we can help with
People come to us about sleep, stress and mental wellbeing, ongoing pain, digestive health and women’s health. See how each is approached through natural therapies via telehealth.
These are areas of focus, assessed individually by your practitioner, not guaranteed outcomes. Suitability is always decided clinically, and your practitioner will tell you if holistic care is not the right fit.
Our approach
Every consultation is with an AHPRA-registered doctor or, for naturopathy, a qualified practitioner. We start by understanding you as an individual, your history, your lifestyle and your goals, before discussing any treatment. Anything your practitioner recommends is at their clinical discretion and is designed to work alongside your usual GP care, not replace it. And we do not disappear after the first appointment: follow-up support is part of how we work.
Depending on your needs, our alternative therapies include functional medicine and natural therapies with an AHPRA-registered doctor, or naturopathy with a qualified practitioner.
Speak with a qualified practitioner about naturopathy by phone, anywhere in Australia. No waiting list, no travel.
A root-cause approach that looks at why symptoms are happening, not just what to do about them.
Evidence-informed natural therapies, tailored to your individual health needs and treatment goals.

These terms overlap and are often used interchangeably. Holistic medicine describes an approach that considers your whole health, your body, lifestyle, environment and goals, rather than any single symptom. Alternative and natural medicine usually refer to therapies used alongside conventional care. At Scripted Clinic, our practitioners take a whole-person, evidence-informed approach and work alongside your usual GP care.

The terms overlap and are often used interchangeably. “Complementary” is the more accurate word for how we work, because any approach is used alongside conventional medical care, never instead of it.

In most cases, yes, and we encourage it. Our practitioners work alongside your usual GP care, not instead of it. Always let your practitioner know about any medications or treatments you currently use.
