PSYCHIATRY TELEHEALTH – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
TELEHEALTH AND TELEMEDICINE ARE THE BUZZWORDS OF HEALTHCARE IN 2020.
HERE ARE OUR 5 SUGGESTIONS TO CHECK OUT:
https://calltomind.com.au/
Founded by Melbourne Psychiatrists in 2017, it is now led by Dr Dave Carmody. It not only provides the platform to conduct consults but also has patient demand to refer to you.
Conduit Health
https://www.conduithealth.com.au/
Now six years old, Dr Gregory Sam’s creation was the first bulk-billing Psychiatry telehealth service in Australia.
PSYCH2U
https://psych2u.com.au/
A spin-off from the successful sister organisation GP2U, PSYCH2U is backed by health insurance heavyweights HCF and has delivered telehealth services for Doctors since 2011.
COVIU
https://www.coviu.com/
Although it does not provide a patient-base, COVIU is arguably the gold standard when it comes to providing a platform for Doctors to see their existing patient-base. Originally funded by CSIRO, its growth and reputation are rising rapidly. Healthsite
https://www.healthsite.com.au/
Like COVIU, Healthsite is ideal if you already have patients that are ready to be seen. Simple to set up, you could be doing psychiatry consults in a matter of minutes!

Hi, it’s Jay from Blugibbon. I’ve worked in psychiatry recruitment for more than eight years, and since relocating to Australia, I’ve noticed something that keeps coming up. Emergency doctors make outstanding psychiatrists. It isn’t a one-off observation. I’ve seen it repeatedly in hospitals across the country. The core skill set of an emergency physician translates naturally into psychiatry, particularly in crisis care and acute mental health settings. If you want an inspiring example, listen to Dr Katie Treble on ABC Conversations as she shares her journey from emergency medicine to psychiatry. It’s a brilliant insight into what this transition can look like in real life.
