Our Three Clinics

Our telehealth clinics focus on collaborative care. Currently, health care is being fragmented as single-service clinics pop up, and your primary healthcare provider is kept out of the loop. 

Your GP is integral in coordinating your care, but GPs can't know everything about everything!

It is our aim to fill any gaps with quality and evidenced based care, combining lifestyle medicine with pharmaceutical care where appropriate. 

All our Telehealth consults are video-based, so you connect with your treating health professional in a meaningful way

  • Metabolic Health

    You do not need a referral but our doctors will communicate with your care team unless you specifically don’t want them to.

    Mental Health

    Yes, you do need a Mental Health Care Plan ( also called a mental health treatment plan) from your GP to access medicare rebates for your counselling sessions.

    You will get access to 10 sessions that attract a medicare rebate. Please the rebate does not cover the entire cost of the consultation

    Menopause

    You do not need a referral for your initial appointment with a menopause  GP. 

    However, for you to access a medicare rebate for this consultation, we need to establish a formal relationship with your clinic.

    If you do not wish to have your GOP involved, then you are unable to obtain a medicare rebate.

    This is a Govt Medicare policy and is out of our control.

    However, we believe whole heartedly in collaborative care and having your regular GP as the co-ordinator of your care, so please list your GP’s details wherever possible.

    We will correspond with your GP to establish this formal relationship, so you can obtain a medicare rebate.
