What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is a video call appointment with your healthcare provider.

You can attend your appointment via video call from any location, such as your home, work or your GPs clinic.

We use the Healthdirect Telehealth Video Call system. You can use it on any smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera.
