Telehealth consent
Last updated July 2026
What is telehealth?
Telehealth involves the use of secure video and phone technology to deliver healthcare remotely. By booking a consult with Women's Health GP, you consent to receiving care via telehealth.
Benefits and limitations
Telehealth offers convenient, private access to an AHPRA-registered GP. However, it has limitations — some conditions require a physical examination or in-person testing. Your GP will advise if in-person care is needed and help arrange it.
Not for emergencies
Telehealth is not suitable for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 000 immediately or attend your nearest emergency department.
Your rights
You may stop a telehealth consult at any time. The same standards of confidentiality and professional conduct apply as they would to an in-person consultation.
Consent
By proceeding with a booking, you acknowledge that you understand the nature of telehealth care, its benefits and limitations, and consent to being assessed and treated by an AHPRA-registered GP via telehealth.
