Telehealth Psychology
Your Psych Centre’s mission is to provide accessible psychological services and we have built our processes around this.
Telehealth uses digital technology and communication to provide health related services by overcoming obstacles which may have been barriers to uninterrupted psychological therapy.
Telehealth has been used predominantly in the past for individuals to access healthcare in rural and remote settings. The COVID-19 pandemic provided the unique opportunity for Telehealth to be used as a safe – and effective – means of therapy to all members of the community. Many clients continued to use Telehealth as their preferred mode of therapy.
The success of Telehealth has resulted in the Australian Government’s approval of ongoing Medicare rebates for all psychological Telehealth services.
