Telehealth Consultations

Telehealth Consultations

Telehealth Services

In some circumstances, it may be possible to have a telehealth consultation. In a telehealth consultation, you and a specialist, such as a consultant physician or psychiatrist, undertake a consultation via video conferencing over the internet (i.e., visual and audio). Telehealth aims to remove some of the barriers to accessing medical services for Australians who have difficulty getting to a specialist or live in rural and remote areas.

To take part in a telehealth consultation, you must be referred to a specialist by your GP, and your service must be provided by a specialist, consultant physician, or psychiatrist.

You should discuss the benefits and risks of a video consultation with your doctor.
