AusDoc’s January telehealth and COVID-19 MBS items Quick Guide is now available.

Changes that will see in the new year 2024 include the removal of all nicotine and smoking cessation counselling items, including face-to-face and telehealth attendances.

Blood borne virus and sexual health items have been extended to 30 June 2024, as have existing exemptions for an established practice relationship for mental health consultations, non-directive pregnancy support counselling and patients with COVID-19 or who warrant assessment for antiviral therapy.
