What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is essentially health services delivered by a healthcare provider over a video call or the phone. This means that you can still access high quality healthcare services regardless of where you or your therapist lives, as long as you have good reception.

All our services can be provided in the form of telehealth.

Telehealth is for anyone who:

• Wants to be seen in the comfort of their own home but does not want a therapist visiting them at home due to COVID-19 or other reasons
• Has difficulty accessing healthcare where they live
• Is tired of long waiting lists
• Wants to skip the long travel to and from their therapist’s clinic
• Wants to save travel costs charged by your provider and maximise therapy funding
