Telehealth Medicare Items Made Permanent

The Government is providing $106 million over four years to support permanent telehealth services, ensuring greater flexibility to patients and doctors for the delivery of health care; allowing GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals to continue to consult with their regular patients online.

General Practitioners & Specialists

Patients want video telehealth!

That rises to 63% among 34-44 year olds. Those people are most likely to be working parents of young kids – the kind of people who use your services the most.

And with telehealth items now made permanent, there is no better time to start.

The head of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Karen Price said the announcement of a permanent telehealth service was a "wonderful day in the history of general practice". Dr Price continues, "The era-defining episode of COVID has served to highlight just how intertwined health service delivery is with the health of the nation. Telehealth has been a remarkable and innovative solution which enabled our country to stay as safe as possible."
