Telehealth Psychiatry for Perth
PsycheTel Australia provides specialist psychiatric care to people across Perth and Western Australia by secure telehealth. You connect with an AHPRA-registered consultant psychiatrist by video from home, so there is no travel and no waiting room. Please note that PsycheTel is a telehealth service and does not operate a physical clinic in Perth. Our telepsychiatry care reaches you wherever you are in the state.
Why Telehealth Psychiatry
Works for Perth and WA
Western Australia covers an enormous area, and Perth is one of the most isolated capital cities in the world. For people outside the metro area, and for many within it, seeing a private psychiatrist has traditionally meant long travel, long waits, or both. Telehealth changes that. It brings specialist care to your home, whether you are in a Perth suburb or a regional town hundreds of kilometres away.
Telehealth is also well suited to Western Australia’s fly-in fly-out workforce. Rosters, remote sites, and time away from family make regular in-person appointments difficult to keep. Secure video consultations allow FIFO workers and their families to access consistent psychiatric care around their schedule, rather than fitting their health around a roster.
Areas we serve across
Perth and Western Australia
Because our care is delivered by telehealth, we support people right across greater Perth, including the CBD and inner suburbs, the northern corridor around Joondalup and Wanneroo, the southern suburbs through to Rockingham and Mandurah, the eastern suburbs around Midland and the Swan Valley, and the coastal west around Fremantle. We also reach people across regional WA, including Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, and the state’s more remote communities.
Conditions We Assess and Treat
Our consultant psychiatrists provide assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management for a range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. We also offer confidential support for healthcare workers and first responders. You can explore each of these on our services pages.
Medicare and referrals
A valid referral from your GP or another specialist is required to claim a Medicare rebate for a psychiatry consultation. If you have a regular GP in Perth, they can provide this and share useful background information. If you are not sure how to start, our team can guide you and your GP through the referral process.
Mental Health Care
in Your Language
Perth is home to communities from all over the world. Several of our psychiatrists consult in languages other than English, including Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, and Romanian, so you can talk about your mental health in the language you feel most comfortable using. If you would like to speak with a psychiatrist in a particular language, let our team know when you get in touch.
