Telehealth appointments are available at Murray Medical Centre for selected consultations where clinically appropriate. Appointments can be conducted by phone or video using an internet-connected mobile phone, tablet, or computer with a webcam.

Telehealth may be suitable for consultations such as discussing test results, reviewing ongoing health conditions, repeat prescriptions where appropriate, or managing some acute illnesses. Some health concerns require a face-to-face consultation so that a physical examination can be performed. The most appropriate appointment type will depend on your individual circumstances.

Telehealth consultations are privately billed in accordance with the practice’s standard consultation fees.

Medicare rebates for telehealth consultations are subject to Medicare eligibility requirements. In general, patients must have had a face-to-face consultation with a doctor consulting at Murray Medical Centre within the previous 12 months for a Medicare rebate to apply. Additional Medicare eligibility requirements may apply for children and patients who require another person to participate in the consultation.

Telehealth appointments can be booked online by selecting the telehealth appointment type, or by contacting reception on (08) 9535 1166.
