Telehealth allows you to connect with a healthcare professional online through a secure video and audio call using Zoom. CQUniversity Health Clinics are now offering telehealth consultations to staff, students, and the wider community.

Please enquire with reception staff to see if your practitioner can facilitate this. There is no need for you to create a Zoom account. The CQU Health Clinic Administration Team will send you an email to your preferred email address with your Zoom session information.

To ensure you have the best telehealth experience:

• Please contact the clinic as early as possible before your scheduled appointment time if you cannot locate your email with the Zoom meeting link.
• Ensure your laptop, mobile or device is charged up and you have a working camera and microphone.
• Ensure you turn on both your camera and microphone when joining the Zoom meeting.
• Space – Set up in a quiet, well-lit area which is large enough to allow you to perform exercise if required.
• Privacy – you will need to be in an area where you feel comfortable enough discussing your health condition and wearing clothing you are comfortable to move in.
