Medical Board and Ahpra telehealth guidance

Ahpra

Aphra’s guidance for telehealth and virtual care was updated in October 2025 to ensure patients receive high-quality care – whether it be in-person, over-the-phone or online.

Key points:

• Revised guidance ensures proper consultation and practitioner accountability.
• Changes reflect concerns around unethical practice and emerging business models focused more on profit than patient safety.
• New case studies to help practitioners avoid common telehealth pitfalls and mistakes

The updated guidance is consistent with the Medical Board of Australia’s guidelines.
