Telehealth Consultation
You can now have your consultation online via a telehealth video call.
Video calling is as convenient as a phone call, with the added value of face-to-face communication. It can save you time and money and brings your care closer to home.
How to connect to a telehealth appointment
Instead of travelling to your appointment, you enter the clinic’s waiting area online. We are notified when you arrive, and your clinician will join you when they are ready. There is no need to create an account. No information you enter is stored.

Data use increases when there are more than two participants in the call.
