ACRRM
As a recipient of previous Telehealth Program Funding, ACRRM has already established a Telehealth Provider Directory. The AACP encourages you to register on the ACRRM Directory to utilise it as a central directory for all health professionals providing telehealth services. ACRRM also has a forum for telehealth queries and has formed a Telehealth Advisory Committee, of which the AACP is a member. This Committee provides a useful opportunity for a range of organisations to share information about the implementation of telehealth and videoconsultation.
