Access Telehealth FAQs for NDIS Participants

What is a telehealth consult?

Telehealth video consultations are an alternative option to physical consultations and are conducted using Access Telehealth software, the internet and a webcam.

How much does it cost?

All consultations are charged in line with NDIS guidelines.

Is it easy to use the telehealth software?

Yes. Our software is user friendly and you’ll be supported by our customer support team should you encounter any difficulties.

What are the advantages of a telehealth video consultation?

Telehealth consultations will reduce the waiting time to see your Allied Health Professional, making it easier to get quality healthcare faster. And because you don’t have to leave your home, you’ll save both time and travel costs.

What happens during a telehealth video consultation appointment?

You and your guardian or carer (if required) will be at a computer screen to participate in the video consultation. The consult will then happen in much the same way as it would if you were in a consultation room.

How private is the telehealth video consultation?

The same privacy and confidentiality requirements that apply to face-to-face consultations, also apply to telehealth video consultations.

Will the telehealth video consultation be recorded?

No. Consultations are not recorded by Access Telehealth or your specialist. You are also prohibited from recording the consultation.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

Telehealth video consultations do require a lot of coordination, so please try to keep your appointment time once it’s made. If you do need to cancel your appointment or are running late, then please let our operations team know ASAP by calling 1300 88 60 77 OR emailing operations@accesstelehealth.com.au.

How should I prepare for my telehealth appointment?
  • Please log-in at least 5 minutes early to allow for preparation time.
  • Avoid wearing brightly patterned or reflective clothing as it may not show up well on camera.
