Ozempic in Canberra 2026: Telehealth Prescriptions for the ACT
Key Takeaways
Canberrans can access Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro assessments via bulk billed telehealth — no clinic waitlists. How prescriptions work in the ACT, current costs and eligibility in 2026.
Canberra has some of the longest GP wait times and lowest bulk billing rates in the country — which makes the ACT one of the strongest cases for telehealth weight management in Australia. Here's how Canberrans access GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro in 2026 without the waitlist.
How it works in the ACT
- Request an appointment — two minutes, no referral required.
- Complete a short health questionnaire before your consult.
- Consult an AHPRA-registered GP by phone or video — bulk billed for eligible Medicare card holders, which in Canberra's GP market is increasingly rare in itself.
- Collect your medication anywhere — Chemist Warehouse in Belconnen or Fyshwick, Capital Chemist in your suburb, or any pharmacy across the ACT and Queanbeyan; eScripts work everywhere.
Can I really get a bulk billed weight loss consultation in Canberra?
Yes — because the consultation happens via telehealth, ACT patients access the same bulk billed service as everyone else. Given average private GP fees in Canberra now run $90–$120 with gaps of $50+, the savings across an initial consult plus follow-ups are substantial. How bulk billing works for weight management is covered in our bulk billing guide.
Which medications are available?
The full set of TGA-registered options — Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — prescribed where clinically appropriate. ACT pharmacy supply has been solid through 2026, and Queanbeyan pharmacies effectively extend your options across the border.

What will it cost me?
Consultations: $0 out of pocket for eligible Medicare card holders. Medication: private pricing, since no weight loss medication is PBS-subsidised — indicatively $150–$250/month for Ozempic, $180–$320 for Wegovy, $230–$460 for Mounjaro depending on dose. Dose-level detail lives in our Mounjaro and Wegovy price guides.
Am I eligible for weight loss medication?
The standard clinical criteria apply: BMI 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition (hypertension, sleep apnoea, prediabetes, PCOS among others). Public servants take note: sitting-heavy work and weight-related health flags on APS medicals are common triggers for exactly this conversation. What GPs actually assess is covered in our eligibility guide — and if medication isn't appropriate, our GPs will say so and map the alternatives.
