Virtual Consultation

As part of the solution, Telstra Health can provide advanced video-conferencing technology so that your organisation can conduct video or phone healthcare consultations simply and at a convenient time. All consultations take place on a secure platform hosted and managed in Australia, so you can feel confident that your patient’s privacy and sensitive information is secure. 

Video consultations are conducted in high-definition quality, with reliable connectivity, and can integrate with commonly used clinical diagnostic and other standards-based equipment without having to install additional third-party applications. 

During a virtual consultation, patients can talk directly with a clinician to receive diagnosis information, advice, treatment, prescriptions and/or medical certificates (where appropriate). Virtual consultations  increase accessibility to high-quality care.

All Australian registered clinician work under a robust clinical governance framework that includes credentialing and quality assurance. These services are provided across a secure, encrypted platform so that patients can receive referrals, prescriptions and exchange other documents pertaining to their health in a safe environment.
