Telehealth: Explore Digital Consultation Options
Telehealth can connect a person with a healthcare professional through video, telephone or other digital communication, depending on the provider. Assistive Center (AC) helps people understand these options and the technology needed to use them. Our educational guidance focuses on accessibility, preparation and informed choice, including questions to ask about the clinician, language, privacy and any costs. Digital consultations may reduce travel for some appointments, but they are not suitable for every health concern. A healthcare professional should decide whether a remote consultation is appropriate or whether an in-person assessment is needed. Contacting AC for information does not book a medical appointment.

What to compare
- Communication access: Ask about language, captions, interpreter arrangements and a support person where available and consented.
- Technical requirements: Check the device, connection, setup and alternatives if the call fails.
- Provider, privacy and scope: Confirm who delivers the consultation, their qualifications, how information is handled, what the service covers, availability and costs. Do not assume an immediate appointment or prescription.
