Telehealth

 

Keeping the community safe and practising social distancing has meant our dietetic clinic has needed to swiftly adapt to using Telehealth consultations.

We offer consultations over Telehealth

An announcement by the Federal Government on Monday 20th April, 2020 has made it easier for our clients to access Medicare- funded dietetic care via Telehealth. Whilst this is a temporary measure for the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, it provides a wonderful way of being able to access dietetic support throughout this time.

Technical requirements for a video consultation 

You will need:

  • a device with an in-built camera or a webcam connected to your device 

  • an internet connection 

  • an e-mail account 

 
 

Why Telehealth is a great option

The convenience of having your consult wherever you happen to be. Telehealth allows for ongoing treatment whilst faced with current social distancing requirements.

We use Coviu, a software that enables you to meet with your Dietitian, face-to-face, and experience as much privacy as a you would expect to get in a consultation room.

Funding provided by Medicare and DVA for Chronic Disease Management Plans and Eating Disorder Plans are all available just like the face-to-face experience.

We also provide voice-only options for phone consults, for those who do not meet the technical requirements for transmitting video or would prefer to consult without the video format.
