Medicare Consent for Telehealth Consultations
Telehealth consultations are bulk-billed services too — and from 1 July 2026, every one needs a signed AoB consent. GPConsent's SMS/email consent link is purpose-built for telehealth: send the link before or during the call, and the patient signs on their own device without disrupting the consultation.
