Telehealth at Synergy Specialist Clinic

Quality care, wherever you are.

Telehealth plays an important role in healthcare across Australia, improving access to care for patients in rural and remote areas. Our telehealth appointments are held to the same standard of care as an in-person consultation — here's how to get the most out of yours.

Book a telehealth appointment

Same standard of care, different setting

Good telehealth relies on sound technology and a shared commitment from both you and your healthcare provider — a few minutes of preparation makes a real difference.

Preparing before your appointment

Before the day

  • Confirm the correct appointment time and date, especially if you're in a different time zone
  • Complete your registration and consent paperwork
  • Pay for the consultation ahead of time
  • Check you have decent internet and a device — mobile, tablet or computer

On the day

  • Find a quiet, adequately lit room and sit comfortably
  • Set aside dedicated, uninterrupted time for the appointment
  • Have relevant information on hand — e.g. blood test results, blood pressure readings, or anything else your doctor has asked for
  • Keep a pen and paper handy, and think of any questions you'd like to ask
  • Connect 5 minutes early using your appointment link, or find it in the Telehealth section of our website
  • If your doctor has asked for collateral information, remind your family member to join

For your safety

Your doctor will decline to continue a phone or video consultation if you are driving at the time. Please make sure you're stationary and able to give your full attention.

During your consultation

  • Ask any questions you'd like — this appointment is your time
  • Don't forget to ask for any prescriptions, letters or certificates you need

After your consultation

  • Call the office to book your next appointment, as discussed with your doctor
  • Attend any tests or investigations discussed during your appointment
  • Pay the doctor's fee, if you haven't already
