We are Australian registered medical doctors and the founders of EUCA MD—a platform dedicated to providing affordable, convenient, and exclusively doctor-led telehealth consultations, including after-hours and weekend appointments at no extra cost.
At EUCA MD, we address everyday medical concerns and collaborate with specialists to offer affordable, accessible specialist opinions. Our approach to telehealth stands out by focusing on providing exclusively doctor-led consultations, ensuring the highest standard of care for every patient.
Transparency and trust are at the core of what we do. Patients can review detailed doctor profiles and book their preferred doctor online, fostering genuine connections and confidence in their care. To support our diverse communities, we also provide consultations in Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese.
Our mission is to deliver personalised, compassionate care that is both affordable and convenient for all. EUCA stands for Eucalyptus, an Australian native tree that symbolises longevity and good health.

EUCA MD’s mission includes not only addressing common health concerns but also partnering with specialists to offer timely, affordable, accessible specialist opinions.
