Convenient GP Consultations from Home
Sometimes getting to the clinic is not easy. You may be busy with work, caring for children, feeling unwell, or managing a condition that makes travel difficult. Telehealth gives Canberra patients a simple way to speak with a GP by phone or video when an online consultation is clinically suitable.
At Smith Street Medical’s Canberra clinic, existing patients can book telehealth appointments for many everyday GP needs. It allows you to receive medical advice, follow-up care, referrals, prescriptions, and ongoing support without visiting the clinic in person.
You still receive care from a GP who understands your medical history, just in a more flexible way.
When Telehealth Can Help?
Telehealth is useful for many common medical concerns, especially when a physical examination is not required. Patients often use telehealth appointments for:
- Repeat prescriptions and medication reviews
- Medical certificates
- Follow-up appointments after tests or previous consultations
- Pathology and imaging referrals
- Chronic disease reviews
- Mental health check-ins and care plan reviews
- General advice for symptoms that can be safely discussed online
Telehealth can also be helpful for older patients, carers, parents with young children, people with mobility concerns, or anyone who finds it difficult to attend the clinic during the day.
How Telehealth Appointments Work
Booking a telehealth appointment is similar to booking a regular GP appointment. Once your appointment is confirmed, your consultation will take place by phone or video, depending on the booking type.
Choose a quiet and private space before your appointment. Your GP will discuss your concern, provide advice, and let you know if any next steps are needed.
Telehealth is available to existing patients when clinically appropriate. Some health concerns still need an in-person appointment, especially if your GP needs to examine you, check your observations, or provide treatment at the clinic.
