HEALTHCARE in regional or remote areas . Anywhere Healthcare enables specialists to work flexible hours , and to fit a telehealth practice around their other public and private practice commitments . Anywhere Healthcare also enables specialists to work from any location within Australia , provided they have access to the Internet , which particularly suits specialists who have young children or who are winding down from the long hours generally required to maintain a full time practice , as well as those who wish to live in regional areas but do not have sufficient local patient demand to make it viable .
Anywhere Healthcare has experienced strong growth ; since the practice was launched in October 2012 , the number of consultations they conduct has grown on average by around 30 percent compound , month on month . Holt believes there ’ s significant untapped potential for health consultations online .
Currently , approximately one percent of all psychiatry consultations in Australia are conducted online , and there is the opportunity for most areas of healthcare to reflect similar numbers . With more than 100 million consultations conducted in Australia each year , Anywhere Healthcare has a large market to target . In three to five years ’ time , the organisation aims to be conducting somewhere between 300,000 to a million video consultations and asynchronous healthcare interactions each year .
