The Australian Government has removed the face-to-face requirements for the Better Access to Mental Health Care telehealth items available to people living in rural and remote areas (Modified Monash Model regions 4 to 7). This means clients are no longer required to have one of their first four sessions conducted face-to-face and eligible clients can access up to 10 telehealth sessions in a calendar year, with a referral from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. We offer telehealth videoconference appointments via Skype.
