Telehealth Services at Wellcare Therapy
At Wellcare Therapy in Perth, we are committed to providing accessible and convenient allied health services through our comprehensive Telehealth program. We understand that geographical distance, busy schedules, or health conditions can sometimes make in-person appointments challenging. Our Telehealth services ensure you can receive high-quality, personalized care from the comfort and convenience of your own home, or any location that suits you.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth, also known as online therapy or virtual consultations, involves delivering healthcare services remotely using telecommunications technology. This typically includes video conferencing, but can also involve phone calls or secure messaging. Telehealth allows you to connect with our qualified allied health professionals – including Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians, and Exercise Physiologists – without the need for a physical visit to our clinic.
How Does Telehealth Work?
Engaging with our Telehealth services is simple and secure:
​
-
Book Your Appointment: Schedule your Telehealth session by contacting our friendly reception team.
-
Connect with Your Therapist: At the scheduled time, you will be connected face-to-face with your therapist in a private and confidential virtual room.
-
Receive Personalized Care: Your therapist will conduct the session just as they would in person, providing assessments, therapy, education, and support tailored to your needs.
​
Our platform is user-friendly and designed to ensure your privacy and confidentiality are maintained at all times.
