Who is Quit Clinics?
Quit Clinics is an Australian telehealth smoking cessation service. We connect adults who want to quit smoking with Australian registered doctors for a consultation, a treatment plan and, where appropriate, a prescription, plus 12 months of ongoing support.
What Service Does Quit Clinics Deliver?
Fast
We realise that motivation to quit can fluctuate over time, so we are strong believers that having medical support 7 days a week is key to a successful quit journey. Our service guarantees a response within 24 hours, even on weekends.
Simple
Our secure telehealth solution uses a tailored combination of online, phone and video communication matched to each patient’s needs.
Effective
Our primary goal is to help people quit smoking, the leading cause of preventable death in Australia. After 12 months, over 70% of our patients report being smoke-free for 6 months or more.*
*based on anonymised patient data as at June 2026.
Quit Clinics Mission
Quit Clinics we believe that there is no more pressing health issue currently facing Australia than reducing smoking rates.
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in Australia, killing more than 20,000 Australians each year. Smoking disproportionally affects lower income, rural, and indigenous Australians.
While legal tobacco use has declined significantly in the past few years, much of this has been replaced with black market tobacco use. Regrettably, the majority of smoking and vaping in Australia is supplied by unregulated, illegal sources.
All Quit Clinics staff are non-judgemental and supportive. We believe that most smokers want to quit, and will be able to quit smoking if provided with the right support.
Quit Clinics supports the doubling-down of efforts to combat the tobacco black market, youth-vaping, and the illegal sale of poor-quality, unregulated nicotine vapes.
Our secure third-party identification and age verification system ensures our service is only available to adults. 90% of Quit Clinics patients are aged 25 or older.*

What makes Quit Clinics authorised and experts?
Doctors who focus on smoking cessation
All our prescribers are Australian registered doctors with special interests in smoking cessation, and all stay up to date with Australian and international research on smoking. All new patients receive a phone consultation from an experienced doctor. Know who your doctor is from the start, and be confident that you have a valid prescription.
Prescribing that follows RACGP guidelines

A plan to reduce your dose over time
Our doctors’ prescribing experience has let us develop a weaning schedule. Your treatment plan will typically specify a dosage range, so you have the flexibility to reduce your dose over time.
Extra support alongside your GP
Quit Clinics is not a replacement for your normal GP. We are there as extra support for people with specific needs, and we encourage all patients to also see their regular GP about their smoking or nicotine dependence. We will provide you with a letter for you GP, which you encourage you to share with them to help kick-start the conversation.
