Australia Telehealth Market Trends:

Expansion of Mental Health Services through Telehealth

The expansion of mental health services via telehealth platforms is creating a positive Australia telehealth market outlook. According to an industry report published on 30 April 2024, in the past 12 months, an estimated number of individuals aged 4–17 years experienced a mental illness, while 22% of those aged 16–85 was affected by a mental disorder. These figures underscore the growing mental health burden across both youth and adult populations in Australia. In response, the telehealth market has seen a significant expansion in virtual mental health services, aiming to address these widespread needs by providing accessible, timely, and flexible psychological support across urban, regional, and remote areas. Factors such as pandemic-related isolation, growing youth mental health issues, and reduced stigma surrounding psychological treatment are contributing to rising engagement with telehealth counseling and psychiatry services. Moreover, virtual platforms now support a wide spectrum of interventions, including therapy, medication management, cognitive behavioral techniques, and crisis intervention, all through video, voice, or asynchronous communication modes. Apart from this, the Australian Government’s Better Access initiative, which subsidizes mental health consultations via Medicare, is significantly accelerating this trend. Many providers now offer hybrid service models that blend in-person and online care to cater to varied patient needs. Furthermore, indigenous and remote communities are particularly getting benefited from tele-mental health programs, which bridge the accessibility gap created by geographical isolation. These factors are collectively augmenting Australia telehealth market share.

Integration of Remote Monitoring Devices with Telehealth Platforms

Australia’s telehealth market is increasingly shaped by the integration of remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices with virtual care platforms. This trend is driven by the need for continuous patient management, particularly for chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders. According to a research study involving 9,823 individuals across 13 countries, which examined global variations in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among diabetic patients, Australia reported a notable prevalence rate of 40.1%. The study considered various types of CVD, including cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias or conduction abnormalities, aortic disease, and peripheral artery disease. This high burden of comorbidities among diabetic patients highlights the importance of continuous health monitoring to prevent complications and hospitalizations. The growing use of RPM devices in Australia, such as connected glucometers, smart blood pressure monitors, and ECG wearables, enables healthcare providers to track patient vitals remotely and adjust treatment plans in real time. In addition to this, the Australian government is supporting this integration through initiatives such as the My Health Record system, which promotes centralized access to electronic medical data. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated demand for home-based care, solidifying patient trust in digital tools, which is positively impacting the Australia telehealth market growth. The outcome is a growing ecosystem where digital diagnostics and clinical decision-making are increasingly intertwined, allowing healthcare delivery models to shift from episodic to continuous care management.
