Update, 15 October: Owing to an error in the Department of Health’s original media statement, an earlier version of this story said the consultation would close 29 November. The correct date is 9 November.

Medicare rebates for telehealth will only be available to patients who register with a GP practice under dramatic reforms drawn up by the Federal Government.
