Doccy telehealth startup reaches 200,000 consultations

Doccy reached 200,000 consultations since July 2025, using AI to help rural patients access faster care.

Dr Louis Sisk is a surgeon and emergency medicine doctor who created Doccy to solve a real problem. Rural and regional patients wait weeks for GP appointments.

Doccy launched in July 2025. The co-founders are Archer Hume and Jordi Hermoso.

The Melbourne-based telehealth platform uses AI tools to speed up paperwork before consultations. Real doctors stay in control of all medical decisions.

Patients can book appointments for medical certificates, prescriptions, and general check-ups. In just months, Doccy made $2.43 million in revenue.

It attracted patients across two-thirds of Australian postcodes. About one-third of users came back.

The team expects 2026-27 revenue of around $18 million. They plan to expand into specialist consultations and blood testing.
