Telehealth services have been a convenient and wonderful addition to the standard face to face services we are all used to. It allows you to have quality psychological services in the comfort of your own home. Telehealth services have been shown to be just as effective as face to face services, so it really it comes down to your personal preference.
Connecting with telehealth is done by either a video link or telephone consult.
Very importantly, telehealth services are now rebated by Medicare if you see a Psychologist with a GP referral and mental health care plan. This means you will receive a rebate back from Medicare for your session fee. Telehealth has been approved by the Australian Government until December 31st, 2021, and will likely be reviewed at that stage.
