Care From Home

Telehealth Consultations

Speak with your GP from the comfort of your home. Telehealth can be a convenient option when you are unable to attend the clinic in person.

Two Ways to Connect

Choose the option that suits you

We offer both video and telephone consultations with our GPs.

Preferred option

Video Consultation

Video consultations allow you and your doctor to see each other during your appointment. This can be particularly useful when you need to show your GP something that is concerning you.

Telephone option

Phone Consultation

Phone consultations are available for patients who may not have access to a smartphone, tablet, computer or reliable internet connection.

Before You Book

Is telehealth right for you?

Telehealth is convenient, but it isn't suitable for every medical concern.

✓

Choose face-to-face if you need an examination

If your concern may require your doctor to examine you — such as checking your ears, throat, skin or an injury — please book an in-person appointment.

✓

Your doctor may recommend an in-person visit

Depending on your symptoms and circumstances, your doctor may ask you to attend the clinic for a face-to-face consultation.

✓

Telehealth consultations require eligibility

Medicare eligibility requirements apply to telehealth consultations. Please speak with reception if you are unsure whether telehealth is suitable for your appointment.

Video Telehealth
