Get ready for your Telehealth video call appointment ahead of time.
What you need
Appointments
You need an appointment. Once the booking is made, you'll be able to connect to the appointment using Telehealth video call.
If your appointment involves your GP, family or carers, you'll need to book a time with them as well.
Equipment and location
To have a Telehealth video call appointment, you need a:
- Device (desktop computer, tablet or smartphone) with a camera, speaker and microphone (built in or plugged in)
- Stable Internet connection
- Chrome, Safari, Edge or Opera browser
- Quiet location to have your appointment
You can run an automatic equipment check (precall test) on your device in the days leading up to your appointment, to make sure your device is able to run a video call.

Need more help?
If you think you need more help in preparation for your appointment, you can:
- Call the Telehealth team, or
- Schedule a guided test call at least three days before your appointment
We will guide you through the process to ensure your equipment is working correctly and you are comfortable with this technology.
If the test call works, you can get ready for your appointment.
If you have trouble with the test call, find out more about getting help with your call.
