Telehealth
A seeding grant received from the NSW Health Telehealth Initiative has enabled ADAHPT to establish and evaluate the use of Telehealth and HIV case management in rural areas using the interactive videoconferencing component of Telehealth.
ADAHPT will establish structured, ongoing, sessions with rural sexual health sites in the Greater Southern, North Coast and Hunter New England Area Health Services of New South Wales, Australia.
