WHAT IS TELEHEALTH ?
COVID 19 and Telehealth
Telehealth is an alternative way to provide you with opportunities to care for your health in more efficient ways.
The service may be delivered online via Skype, Zoom, Facetime, Messenger, or even WhatsApp or by Telephone Call. You can use your mobile phone, tablet/iPad, laptop, or home Computer. All you need is an internet connection.
Some of these alternatives are more secure than others. In today’s critical climate, it is important that you receive the right support however possible whilst maintaining your privacy.
Telehealth Psychology is not a new way to be supported with counselling, therapy, and general support in the times of need.
At NEWSTART Psychology & Counselling (Australian-based Practice) we have been offering this service for almost a decade across 4 continents – and now we continue to do so more than ever!
Around the world Governments have announced social distance measurements involving self-isolation, quarantining, and in some places lockdown. It is now that Telehealth Psychology is the best solution for you and those whom you love. You stay at home, and we help you by your chose method (video or phone call).
In Australia, the Department of Health has authorised Medicare to support your use of Telehealth Psychology.
If you have a current and relevant Referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare Rebate. We no longer bulkbill our consultations but rebates through Medicare are available – This means that your out-of-pocket expenses could be significantly reduced.

How about Child Therapy and Telehealth?
What COVID19 Taught Me
I have learned a few key things, and I wanted to share them with anyone was having doubts or feeling worried about if their child could still access their therapy if it was online.
