Video Telehealth
Here at ASM we are fully equipped to offer video telehealth sessions. These are online sessions conducted via video conferencing. We utilise a highly secure and confidential video conferencing program through our clinic management software, it is easy to use and requires no prior set-up. Prior to your appointment your psychologist will send you a link to connect you to your secure video telehealth session (there is no software download needed). All you need is internet access.
Research studies have found video telehealth treatment effectiveness to be equivalent to that of face to face.

Benefits of online therapy:
-
You are located in a familiar, comforting and relaxed environment of your own home
-
Improved ease, convenience & accessibility for sessions; increasing your ability to sustain consistent therapy engagement
-
For some it can feel less confronting and anxiety-inducing to begin their therapy via online
-
Reduced external stressors like travel, traffic, parking, or the additional required social interactions
All ASM telehealth sessions are eligible for Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.
If you are using private health insurance for your appointments, please check with your provider that telehealth services are included in your private health care package.
