How to prepare for your Telehealth appointments 

​

• Call (02) 4971 4044 to book an appointment as usual with your preferred doctor.

• Reception will take your details and email you our “telehealth consent” form.

• Once you have read this you can email back to state you consent to telehealth.

• If you are using a smartphone – you will be asked to download the app “Zoom”, the free web-based video conferencing application – and create a free account with Zoom. We suggest doing this anyway to stream line the process if required.

• If you are using a computer with video capability and microphone/speakers, you need to be able to access email. You can visit www.zoom.us to create an account before your appointment.

• Using your phone or computer on broadband internet will work better than your phones’ roaming internet – either way you will need internet capabilities to use telehealth.

• You will be sent an email from the practice at the time of your appointment – with an invite to join the “meeting”.

• Click on this link.

• On your computer it will ask your permission to run a program which is the Zoom program, if you approve this it should connect within 30-60 seconds.

• Your video and audio should automatically connect and you are ready for your consult with your doctor.
