About Telehealth

Tom from our Physio Team provides information about our innovative Physiotherapy Telehealth service. Tom answers frequently asked questions and explains the benefits of Telehealth, how it’s delivered and why you should consider it.

All Queenslanders living with MS and other progressive neurological conditions can access Telehealth from the convenience and the comfort of their own home.

“Angie has gone above and beyond with helping me to set up Zoom. She took the time to make sure I was all set up so that we could keep meeting through telehealth for our regular appointments. Thanks to MS Queensland telehealth I’m able to receive support coordination digitally and continue working towards achieving my goals.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is telehealth and how does it work?

Telehealth is when your appointment is conducted online as a video chat – at MS Queensland we use a program called Zoom.

To access Telehealth appointments, you will need an internet connection and a smart device like an iPad or laptop. Prior to your appointment you will be sent an email with a private code and link to access your Telehealth appointment.

Is telehealth right for me?

While telehealth may be an option for some people it might not be the best option for everyone. It is important to be aware that there are some limitations to what services can be provided on telehealth compared with face to face services. Please contact us to make sure telehealth is the right option for your personal circumstances.

Privacy and confidentiality

We take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. For our appointments via Zoom you are sent a personal link that is only shared with you.

 

What to do if things go wrong?

If the telehealth session or sound stops, we ask that you close the telehealth session and then copy and paste the Zoom meeting link again in your browser. We will contact you if the session continues to not work.

 

Cancellation process

If you need to cancel your session, then the same procedures apply as for a face-to-face session. Please call our NeuroAssist team on 1800 177 591 .
