Finding the Right Psychology Service

This page provides general practice information rather than detailed advice about eligibility. Please contact the practice if you need clarification.

Telehealth Appointments Across Australia

Secure telehealth appointments are available to clients throughout Australia. Telehealth can be useful when travel, distance, mobility, work or other commitments make attending the Varsity Lakes clinic difficult.

You will need a private space, a stable internet connection and a suitable device with a camera and microphone.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Please provide as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows the appointment time to be offered to another person.

Any applicable cancellation arrangements will be provided as part of the booking and consent information.
