Telehealth Services for
Rural & Remote Clients
Psychological support from the comfort of your own home
Rural people experiencing mental health issues often find travel and distance a barrier to accessing psychological support. Medicare funds psychological services via Telehealth to people located in rural and remote Australia.
Regions include Southern Downs, Western Downs and Maranoa servicing towns such as Dalby, Warwick, Chinchilla, Stanthorpe, Roma, Goondiwindi, Charleville, St George, Cunnamulla, Wandoan, Taroom and Miles.
Am I Eligible?
To be eligible you require:
- A Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.
- Live in rural or remote location as classified by the Modified Monash Model (MMM) regions 4-7. Check your region by entering town or postcode on the Doctor Connect website.
- Be located at least 15 kilometres by road from a mental health professional.
- Are not a patient of an emergency department or admitted to hospital at the time of service.
See information sheet for more details.
If you are not eligible under Medicare you are still able to access Telehealth sessions as a private client. Please contact Rachel to discuss options on 0423 380 037.
