Abstract

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems have seen sudden and significant increases in the use of telehealth services.¹ The Australian population has shared in this experience, with studies showing a rapid uptake of telehealth services.² A high level of satisfaction with telehealth consultations in Australia has been reported, but some responders report reduced satisfaction compared to traditional face-to face consultations.³
