Four easy steps for creating an account and seeing patients and clients via Video Call
Healthdirect Video Call is a simple and secure Australian government funded video consulting platform purpose built for health consultations. Video Call is free and easy to use for clinicians and patients alike and our support team is here to assist every step of the way.
Follow these 4 easy steps to get started:
 |
1. Create your virtual clinic. This is usually done by the telehealth manager or organisation administrator for telehealth in your organisation. To create a new organisation contact your jurisdictional lead/team to find out more information and apply. |
 |
2. The nominated Clinic Administrator sets up their account, signs in, adds Team Members and configures the clinic to suit their needs. |
 |
3. Team Members sign in, access the clinic waiting area dashboard and send the clinic link to patients/clients via email, SMS or via integration with the clinic administration software. |
 |
4. Health service providers join video calls with their patients/clients in the clinic waiting area and provide video consultations. |
