Telehealth ?
Telehealth is a convenient way of
accessing health services online via video or telephone. Telehealth
enables you to receive services in the comfort of your own home. This is particularly important if you are confined to your home, unwell or unable to travel.

Access Telehealth
Services?
To see a practitioner you need a
clinical need for the service and a GP referral. Reach out to the team to find out more.
What equipment
do I need for
telehealth?

capabilities.
What about
privacy and
confidentiality?
Strict data security measures are
applied and the same requirements apply for face-to-face and telehealth consultations.

or internet you may be suitable for

Is there anything else I
should know?
Yes, telehealth is a great option for people to use however there are a few basic rules to follow:
Make sure you are in a private space.
Turn any other device (such as tv or radio) off.
Try to make sure your face is well-lit.
Ensure you won’t be
disturbed by other household members, including children and pets.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you don’t want the psych to see your kitchen, don’t have your consult in that room.
If you are concerned about others overhearing you, use headphones and discuss this with your treating psychologist.
