What it does

The Health Engine is an Australian-based medical search engine that allows you to search for general practitioners, surgeons, and medical specialists across Australia. The engine also allows you to search for day surgery locations and locations of public and private hospitals. Finally, the Health Engine also provides users with the tools to search for medical information, like tests, specialists and specific procedures. Using Health Engine is simple and the search process varies depending on what category you are looking for. If you are searching for doctors, you can filter your search by including the body area in question, the specialty, your state or suburb or even by doctor name or gender of the doctor.

In their own words

“HealthEngine was started in early 2007 by 3 Australian Emergency Physicians. The idea for a comprehensive, free online directory of General Practitioners and Specialists throughout Australia arose out of a real need: the need to find Doctors. A need to find the RIGHT Specialist.”

Why it might be a killer

The search filtering options are excellent and this engine should become well used and loved by Australians.
