Telehealth services increased significantly in the context of COVID-19, and many services continue to offer telehealth options. Despite this, many practitioners report only using telehealth out of necessity, and feel ambivalent about utilising telehealth.
This resource provides an update of the evidence and practical considerations for telehealth.
This resource was developed for the Rural Mental Health Partnership by Dr Caitlin Miller at The Peregrine Centre. The Rural Mental Health Partnership is funded by NSW Ministry of Health. We thank Megan Turnbull (Clinical Psychology and Multidisciplinary Team Leader, Royal Far West), and NSW Ministry of Health for their valuable contributions to this resource.
The following resource is designed for mental health practitioners working in rural or regional NSW.
This is an introduction to working with telehealth and is not exhaustive nor designed as a manual. It is not designed to replace clinical decision making or specialised training. We encourage all practitioners who are working in this space to seek training and engage in professional supervision and reflective practice.
