Telehealth Dietitian & Speech Therapy

At Mealtime Matters, one of our core values is accessibility. We are committed to eliminating geographical barriers to therapy access by providing telehealth Dietitian and Speech Pathology services.

Our goal is to ensure all Australians can receive comprehensive and quality Dietetic and Speech Pathology support.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth involves using phone or video call technology to deliver virtual healthcare services across Australia.

Telehealth can be more convenient than accessing face-to-face clinical services, as you can receive the same quality care from the comfort of your own home.

What equipment do I need for Telehealth?

You will need:

A computer, tablet or phone
A webcam
A microphone
A reliable internet connection
A contact number in case of technical difficulties
A quiet, well-lit space for the consult where you will not be disturbed

Sometimes telehealth services may not be clinically appropriate for you or your loved one.

Your Dietitian or Speech Pathologist will advise whether therapy can be delivered virtually or if face-to-face services may be required.

Not sure if Telehealth is right for you?

Don’t stress! Speak to your Dietitian or Speech Pathologist at any point if you would like to access face-to-face consults instead or if you would like to switch to telehealth.

Telehealth Speech Therapy and Dietitian support- anywhere, anytime.
