Telehealth Psychiatry for Hobart
PsycheTel Australia provides specialist psychiatric care to people across Hobart and Tasmania by secure telehealth.

Please note that PsycheTel is a telehealth service and does not operate a physical clinic in Hobart. Our telepsychiatry care reaches you wherever you are in the state.
Why Telehealth Psychiatry
Works for Hobart and Tasmania
Access to a psychiatrist in Tasmania can be limited, particularly outside greater Hobart, and waits for a first appointment are often long. For many Tasmanians, being seen has meant travelling to Hobart, or even interstate, for specialist care. That is a significant barrier, especially for people managing work, family, or health at the same time.
Telehealth changes what is possible. It connects people across the state with a consultant psychiatrist from home, whether they live in the suburbs of Hobart or on the north west coast. For rural and regional Tasmanians in particular, secure video consultations remove hours of travel and make ongoing, consistent care realistic.
