Telehealth a certainty in a year of chaos
Psychologists have welcomed the extension of telehealth psychology sessions under Medicare until the end of 2021.
Throughout the pandemic, 94 per cent of psychologists have adopted telehealth, which has been vital for Australians to access mental health support when face-to-face sessions haven’t been possible or a barrier to care.
The Australian Psychological Society looks forward to working with the Federal Government on the details of the permanent arrangements for telehealth, announced late last year.

“Psychologists have been on the front-line of a mental health crisis in Australia. Telehealth has been a lifeline for Australians to access mental health services.”
