From 13 October 2022, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be exempt from the established relationship requirement for telehealth services until 31 December 2022.
Under these new arrangements, a GP or OMP can provide a telehealth consultation to patients who do not meet the established clinical relationship requirement, and who have received a positive COVID-19 test result less than or equal to seven days ago, confirmed by either a laboratory testing (PCR) or a COVID-19 rapid antigen self-test (RAT) which has been approved for supply in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
These changes will enable COVID positive patients to continue to access medical care through telehealth while voluntarily isolating. Further information from the Department of Health and Aged Care can be found here.
