Telehealth in Australia has brought a meaningful shift in how healthcare is delivered—offering greater access, convenience, and efficiency. Through modern telehealth services, patients can connect with healthcare providers without needing to visit a clinic, making medical care more accessible than ever before. 

Here are some key benefits of telehealth for patients: 

• Convenient online consultations – With telehealth consulting, patients can easily speak to a doctor for minor injuries, flu, fevers, coughs, colds, or even chronic conditions. No travel, no waiting rooms—just fast, professional care from the comfort of home. 

• Improved accessibility – Telehealth services eliminate geographical barriers, especially for patients in rural and remote communities. Everyone—regardless of location—can receive timely medical advice and support. 

• 24/7 access to care – With telehealth GP appointments available after hours, on weekends, and even public holidays. This round-the-clock telehealth service is perfect for those with urgent needs or unpredictable schedules. 

• Shorter waiting times – With 24/7 telehealth doctors online, patients often experience shorter wait times compared to traditional clinics. 

• Cost-effective healthcare – Telehealth can help reduce healthcare costs by cutting travel expenses and offering lower consultation fees. Some services even provide bulk-billed mental health consultations. 

• Faster treatment & better outcomes – Easy access to care helps patients receive medical advice early, potentially preventing complications. This is particularly beneficial for managing mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, or substance use. 

• Empowered patients – Telehealth encourages people to take charge of their health by offering tools, resources, and information that improve engagement and long-term health habits. 

• Healthcare for all – Telehealth promotes health parity, ensuring that individuals with limited mobility, disabilities, or other access challenges can still receive high-quality care. 

According to the digihealth.gov.au website, between March 13, 2020, and July 31, 2022, over 118.2 million telehealth services were provided to approximately 18 million patients, with participation from over 95,000 practitioners. These numbers show the extent to which this technology is adopted post-pandemic and its increasing acceptance by the public.   Patients can now access a wide range of healthcare services from the comfort of their homes, eliminating geographical constraints and streamlining the care process. As per the Australian Medical Association’s report, by 2031, Australia is projected to experience a shortfall of 10,600 General Practitioners (GPs). The report found that demand for GP services will increase during the same time driven by several factors such as population growth, ageing, more frequent visits to the GPs by the patients, and spending more time for each consultation.  To navigate this shortage of GPs, healthcare providers are leveraging telehealth to extend their reach, optimise resource allocation, and deliver high-quality care to a diverse population.
