Telehealth services have been offered by psychologists long before the COVID-19 pandemic, but their usage has notably surged in recent times.

 

Extensive research demonstrates that telehealth is on par with traditional in-person psychological therapy across various mental health concerns, and the body of evidence supporting telehealth psychology continues to grow.

​

Acknowledging the manifold advantages of telehealth, the Australian Government provides equal Medicare rebates for online psychology sessions as it does for face-to-face ones. Opting for online psychology opens up avenues of convenience, flexibility, and a broader selection of therapists beyond one's immediate locale.
