Telehealth Psychiatry for Brisbane
PsycheTel Australia provides specialist psychiatric care to people across Brisbane and South East Queensland by secure telehealth. You connect with an AHPRA-registered consultant psychiatrist by video from home, so there is no travel, no parking, and no waiting room. As a Queensland-based telehealth service, we understand the local system and the pressures on it. Please note that PsycheTel is a telehealth service and does not operate a physical clinic in Brisbane.
Why Telehealth Psychiatry
Works for Brisbane
Access to a private psychiatrist in Brisbane can mean long waits and, for many people, a difficult trip into the city or across town. Public mental health services are stretched, and wait times for a first appointment can be significant. Telehealth removes the two biggest barriers, distance and delay. You can be assessed from your home, your office, or anywhere private with an internet connection, and often sooner than the traditional in-person route allows.
This matters across the whole of greater Brisbane, from the inner suburbs to the fast-growing corridors of Ipswich, Logan, and Moreton Bay, where demand for mental health care has grown faster than local services. For people balancing work, study, or caring responsibilities, being able to see a psychiatrist without taking half a day off makes consistent care far more achievable.
Areas we serve across
Brisbane and South East Queensland
Because our care is delivered by telehealth, we support people right across the region, including Brisbane CBD, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, the eastern suburbs and Redlands, Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe, and the wider Moreton Bay area. Wherever you are in South East Queensland, you can access the same specialist care from the comfort of home.
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 Brisbane, 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
Brisbane is one of Australia’s most culturally diverse cities. 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.
