Doctor-led men's health,
without the subscription
No monthly memberships. No lock-in contracts. Just real Australian doctors, no charge from Cedar for blood tests, and care decided by your doctor — not a sales funnel.
Treatment and prescriptions are never guaranteed. Your doctor assesses you individually before any clinical decision.
The problem
What's wrong with subscription men's health clinics
Paying every month, even when you're well
Subscriptions charge you whether you need care or not. The clinic's incentive is to keep you paying — not necessarily to get you well.
Locked in when you want to leave
Multi-month contracts and cancellation fees make leaving expensive. If a clinic makes it hard to stop, it's worth asking why.
Surprise pathology and medication costs
Private blood tests and marked-up scripts add up. Too many men only find out the real cost after they've signed up.
A rotating roster, not your doctor
Subscription models often cycle you through whoever is on shift. Continuity — knowing the doctor who knows your history — gets lost.
The Cedar difference
A model built around your health, not your payments
Real doctors, every time
You're assessed by an Australian registered doctor — not a chatbot, a form, or a sales agent. Every clinical decision rests with your doctor.
No subscription, no lock-in
You pay only for the consultations you have. Your first suitability discussion is no-cost; ongoing consultations are a flat $195. Leave any time, no penalty.
No charge for blood tests
Where blood tests are clinically needed, Cedar never charges for them — requests go to a bulk-billing pathology, so there is usually no out-of-pocket cost.
e-Scripts to your phone
If your doctor decides a prescription is appropriate, an electronic script is sent straight to your phone. Take it to any pharmacy you choose and pay them directly — no subscription, no clinic mark-up, and we never sell medication.
Safety-first, individualised care
Your history, symptoms and results are assessed individually. Treatment is never automatic, and paying never guarantees a prescription.
Your GP stays in the loop
With your consent, we coordinate with your regular GP so your broader health care stays connected — not sidelined.
Side by side
Cedar vs subscription clinics
| How they compare | Cedar Men's HealthDoctor-led · No subscription | Subscription clinicsTypical model |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor-led assessment | Yes — an Australian registered doctor, every time | Often a questionnaire first, doctor later |
| Monthly subscription | None — you pay only for consultations you have | Required, ongoing — even when you don't need care |
| Lock-in contracts | None | Often 3–12 month terms |
| First consultation | No-cost suitability discussion | Usually paid |
| Blood tests | Cedar never charges for blood tests — requested through bulk-billing pathology | Often private, sometimes marked up. Where pathology bulk-bills, the test may already be covered by Medicare regardless of the subscription. |
| Prescriptions | e-Script sent to your phone — take it to any pharmacy you choose and pay them directly, no clinic mark-up | Scripts often tied to the clinic's own pharmacy or bundled into monthly fees |
| Same doctor continuity | Yes — the same doctor across visits | Rotating roster common |
| Your GP stays involved | Yes, with your consent | Rarely |
| Leaving | Any time, no penalty | Cancellation fees common |
How it works
Four simple steps, no pressure
No-cost suitability discussion
A short consultation with an Australian registered doctor to understand your situation and whether Cedar is likely to be right for you.
No charge for blood tests, if needed
If your doctor decides further testing is clinically indicated, Cedar never charges for it — requests go to a bulk-billing pathology.
Doctor consultation
Your doctor reviews your results with you, in plain language, and explains what — if anything — is appropriate next.
Ongoing care, only if appropriate
If ongoing care is clinically right for you, your doctor arranges follow-up and monitoring. If it isn't, they'll tell you honestly.
