About The Position

Access Telehealth is expanding its national specialist network and is seeking Endocrinologists to provide Telehealth consultations to patients across Australia, with a significant focus on people living in Residential Aged Care. This is a flexible opportunity designed to complement your existing clinical practice. Consult remotely, determine your availability and focus on clinical care while our team manages the coordination around you. Our model has demonstrated 51% fewer Emergency Department presentations and 37% fewer unplanned hospital admissions across an internal retrospective audit of 679 residents across 11 Residential Aged Care Homes. Our clinical and operations teams coordinate appointments, patient connection and consultation support, allowing you to focus on assessment, clinical decision making and recommendations. For older Australians living in Residential Aged Care, attending an external specialist appointment can be difficult. Our model brings specialist expertise directly into the resident's home through Telehealth, reducing barriers to timely care. You won't be consulting in isolation. Residents are supported through a GP led multidisciplinary model involving Access Nurses, geriatricians, specialist physicians and other healthcare providers, with shared care planning and ongoing GP oversight. Consult remotely from anywhere in Australia and nominate availability that works alongside your hospital, private practice, research or other professional commitments. Where clinically appropriate, residents can continue seeing the same specialist for follow up consultations, supporting greater familiarity and continuity of care. As an Access Telehealth Endocrinologist, you'll provide specialist consultations and follow ups through our purpose built Telehealth model. Your caseload may include patients requiring assessment and management across areas such as: Diabetes and medication optimisation, Osteoporosis and bone health, Thyroid disorders, Metabolic and endocrine conditions, Other non urgent endocrine presentations within your scope of practice. For our Residential Aged Care patients, these presentations often sit within a broader picture of multimorbidity, polypharmacy, frailty and changing clinical needs. Our model is designed around early intervention and coordinated care. Residents receive proactive chronic disease, falls and bone health, medication and other clinical reviews, with specialist expertise incorporated when required. Following consultation, your recommendations are communicated back to the resident's GP and care team so ongoing care can be coordinated locally. The resident's clinician provides a specialist referral. We coordinate the rest. Our team arranges the appointment and prepares the resident for their consultation. For residents within our aged care model, an Access Aged Care Nurse supports the Telehealth consultation on site. Family members or support people can also participate where appropriate. You provide the specialist assessment and recommendations remotely, and we help ensure the resident's GP and care team have the information required to continue their care.
