When seeking a pediatrician’s assessment for your child, it is important to recognize that insights from behavioral reports and formal evaluations conducted by allied health professionals can provide valuable context. However, each pediatrician is an independent practitioner who will formulate their diagnosis and treatment plan based on their clinical evaluation, taking into account all relevant information. Please note that the pediatrician’s opinion may differ from diagnoses given by other professionals or those needed for NDIS funding purposes.

You don't need anything fancy. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection – it doesn't have to be super fast. Use a laptop or desktop computer if you can, with a working microphone, speaker, and camera. If not, your smartphone or tablet will work fine as long as you have internet (WiFi or mobile data). Open a fresh web browser with no other tabs to avoid technical issues. Try to join a few minutes early in a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted for about an hour.
When it's time for your appointment, simply click on the personal link provided in your appointment reminder email or SMS. Once you're there, you'll see a 'Join meeting' screen. Just enter your name and click "Join" to start your appointment. It's that easy!
Please contact Telecare and inform our staff as soon as possible. If this cancellation is within 48 business hours of an appointment, a $150 late cancellation fee will be charged.
