You will have an online video consultation with a specialist dermatologist to take your medical history and examine your problem. We will review any photographs sent to us and then discuss a management plan and any follow up required with you.  Telehealth works well for a number of common skin conditions that dermatologists treat, including some rashes, acne, hives, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and others.

We may ask you to send us photographs of your skin condition before your consultation. 

Simply call our reception on 03 9939 8115 and ask to book a Telehealth consultation. In some situations we will ask you to forward us some information in advance by email, such as photographs or prior treatment information. 

We are happy to use the platform for a Telehealth consultation that suits you best, FaceTime, Zoom, WhatsApp or a simple phone call.

Reception will arrange this at the time of your booking. 

We are happy to provide Telehealth consultations to anyone living in Australia who needs one or prefers not to attend the clinic in person at this time. However, Telehealth works best for certain conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, rashes, and for existing patients of the practice requiring review appointments.  

We cannot do skin checks via Telehealth, however we can provide an initial assessment as to whether your problem is urgent and may require a face to face visit. 

At the moment, standard Medicare rebates apply to all Telehealth consultation offered by our clinic to Medicare eligible patients. Higher than standard rebates may apply for patient who live in a remote (e.g. not metropolitan) area.
