Local context
Occupational therapy in Central West Queensland
Central West Queensland has some of the longest distances to allied health in the country. Families in Longreach describe flying or driving to Townsville or Brisbane for appointments that take an hour.
We use Telehealth to do the thinking work locally: understanding what a day looks like on a station or in town, what supports exist, what equipment is failing, and what evidence the NDIS or My Aged Care needs to see.
Reports are written to reflect remote living — heat, distance from emergency help, unsealed roads, and the reality that a broken hoist is not fixed the same afternoon.
Remote Central West communities are frequently told a service does not cover their postcode. Telehealth removes that barrier entirely.

How it works
From referral to report
Send the referral
Participants, families, support coordinators, plan managers and GPs can all refer online, by phone or by email. Tell us you are in Longreach so we can plan the right mix of online and in-person support.
We make contact
We call to confirm goals, funding, urgency and what has already been tried, and answer any questions about how Telehealth actually works.
Start online, usually within 7 business days
After a referral is accepted, first appointments are usually available within 7 business days — no waiting for the next visiting clinic.
Add a face-to-face visit only where it helps
If part of the assessment truly needs to happen in person, we confirm the next visit to the region and complete everything else online in the meantime.
