Telehealth Services
Linda is passionate about making quality healthcare accessible to everyone. Telehealth allows clients to easily fit consultations into their busy lives without having to travel into a clinic. It also makes professional services accessible to patients in regional, rural, and remote areas. Due to her work in the Allied Health Rural Generalist program at James Cook University, Linda understands the complexity of healthcare in rural areas. She appreciates the needs of hard-working Australians in regional areas who have busy lives and limited access to healthcare. Our telehealth services allow clients all over Australia, in both the city and the country, to easily access expert care.
