A GP ‘Uber’ consult business has undergone a rebrand within months of launching in Australia after being targeted by the billion-dollar ride-sharing giant Uber.

Dr Sudeer Mahadeo, a GP from Ipswich, south-west of Brisbane, launched UberDoc last year promising to provide patients with on-demand access to doctors for consultations, scripts and referrals via a smartphone app.
