Telehealth

What is Telehealth

Telehealth is the ability to provide healthcare to you via telephone or video. With the current situation with COVID-19, it enables patients that are high risk, vulnerable or in lockdown to continue to access quality health from your doctor. It is currently being funded by Medicare, however this may change in the future.

We will continue to provide telehealth beyond this pandemic for those who may require it or choose it has an alternative to attending the clinic if it is deemed appropriate.

 

How does Telehealth work

At the time of booking your telehealth appointment please ensure your contact numbers and email address are correct. Your doctor will call YOU, so please ensure you have your phone available at the time of your scheduled appointment. Your doctor may be running late, so please do not be concerned if your doctor does not call at the exact time. Please note, the phone call may come from a private number.
