4 min read

If you’ve searched for telehealth consult cost in Australia, you’ve probably seen figures that jump around a lot. Some clinics list one price for a first visit and another for follow-ups. Others bury fees behind a form. This guide walks through what an initial telehealth consult at CannElevate involves, step by step, so you know exactly what you’re booking.

What “$29 telehealth consult” means here

At CannElevate, an initial telehealth consultation is $29 for about 20 minutes with an AHPRA-registered practitioner. Follow-up consults are $19. Consults are privately billed.

Those figures are the consult fees only. They’re shown up front so you can compare providers without guessing. If you want a side-by-side look at how clinics list fees, see our clinic fee comparison.

Step 1: Check you’re ready to book

Before you choose a time, it helps to have a few basics sorted:

  • A quiet place for a phone or video call
  • A stable connection (Wi‑Fi or mobile data)
  • A short list of what you want to discuss, plus any recent health notes you already have

You don’t need to over-prepare. A clear reason for the consult and honest answers to the practitioner’s questions are enough to get a useful conversation started. For the fuller booking path, including what happens after you submit details, read how it works.

Step 2: Book online for a time that suits you

Booking is done online. You pick a slot that fits your day, enter your details, and confirm the consult. CannElevate offers Australia-wide telehealth. Phone or video, from wherever you are. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm AWST.

If you’re comparing clinics, look for clear pricing, named practitioners, and a booking flow that doesn’t hide the fee until the last screen. Our FAQs cover common questions about timing, what to bring, and how consults are run.

Step 3: Join by phone or video

When your appointment time arrives, you join by phone or video, whichever you chose. There’s no waiting room trip and no commute. The practitioner will confirm who you are, go through your history as needed, and talk through what you came to discuss.

A telehealth consult is still a clinical conversation. Expect questions. Expect the practitioner to suggest seeing your regular GP or an in-person service if that’s the better path for you. The $29 fee covers that consult time; it isn’t a promise of any particular outcome.

Step 4: What happens after the consult

After the appointment, you’ll usually get a clear next step: a follow-up booking if needed, information to take to your GP, or guidance on what to do next. Follow-up consults at CannElevate are $19 when you need another conversation with the team.

How telehealth consult cost compares in practice

When people search “telehealth consult cost”, they’re usually weighing three things:

  1. First-visit fee — what you pay for the initial conversation
  2. Follow-up fee — what ongoing check-ins cost
  3. Clarity — whether the clinic shows those numbers before you commit

CannElevate’s published figures are $29 for the initial consult and $19 for follow-ups, privately billed. That transparency matters more than a headline number alone. A headline first fee with unclear follow-ups is hard to plan around. A clear pair of fees lets you plan.

Use our compare pages if you want to see how those fees sit next to other clinics’ listed prices. Figures change, so always check the date on any comparison table.

Who this style of consult suits

A short, fixed-fee telehealth consult suits people who want a straightforward clinical chat without travelling, who can take a call during weekday hours, and who prefer knowing the price before they book. It may not suit emergencies, anyone who needs hands-on examination, or situations where your practitioner asks you to attend in person.

If you’re unsure whether telehealth is right for your situation, start with the how it works overview, then book only when you’re comfortable with the format.
