Before you start

Which account should I choose?

Patients choose Patient. Doctors choose GP or Specialist. Allied health, dental and optometry professionals choose Health provider. Authorised practice staff choose Practice manager. Use your own account rather than a shared login.

Does creating an account verify a profile?

No. Claim review checks your connection to a listing. A directory entry or approved claim is not independent verification of every qualification, service or current registration.

Can I browse without signing up?

Yes. Search, compare and use public practice contact details without an account.
