Telehealth software · Australia

Telehealth software for Australian clinicians.

MedCall is secure, Australian-hosted telehealth video software. Text your patient a link — they tap it and join in the browser. No apps, no downloads.

Simple by design

Enter a mobile, the patient gets a link, they tap it and they're in. No apps, no accounts, no passwords — the number-one reason consults fail elsewhere.

Private and encrypted

Calls are end-to-end encrypted and travel directly between the people in them. Nothing is recorded, and only the minimum consult data is stored.

Australian-hosted

The application, database and files run in the AWS Sydney region. Consult data stays in Australia, in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

What good telehealth software should do.

The consult is the product. MedCall does the video call properly and stays out of the way of everything else in your practice.

Questions

What is telehealth software?+

Telehealth software lets a clinician and patient consult over secure video (and sometimes phone or messaging) instead of in person. Good telehealth software handles the video call, patient joining, in-consult tools like screen share and chat, and does it in a private, compliant way. MedCall focuses on doing the video consult itself really well, and leaves booking and billing to your existing practice software.

How much does telehealth software cost in Australia?+

Published prices in October 2026 ranged from free plans with limits (doxy.me), to $20–$25 a month (GP Consults), to $40–$64 per clinician per month plus GST for Coviu's suite. MedCall is one plan: $15 per doctor per month including GST, with unlimited video consults of up to 4 people, screen sharing included, practice managers free, and a 1-month free trial. Our telehealth software pricing guide breaks down what each costs for a whole practice.

What is the best telehealth software for Australian clinicians?+

It depends on what you need. If you want one suite that also takes payments, handles consent forms, records consults and runs group calls, Coviu covers that. If you want a simple, Australian-hosted video consult with text and email invites and a room link for your booking reminders, alongside the practice software you already run, that's what MedCall is built for. Our comparison of telehealth platforms in Australia lays out the prices and features side by side.

Does telehealth software need to be hosted in Australia?+

There's no law that telehealth software must be hosted in Australia, but health information is sensitive and the Australian Privacy Principles require reasonable steps to protect it, including for any overseas disclosure. Many practices prefer Australian data residency for peace of mind. MedCall keeps consult data in Australia.

Can I use free video tools like Zoom or FaceTime instead?+

You can technically use general video tools, but they aren't built for clinical use — consider privacy, consent, data handling and record-keeping. Purpose-built telehealth software like MedCall is designed around a clinical consult and Australian privacy expectations.
