Abstract
Australia presents significant geographical and sociodemographic impediments to the provision of effective and efficient psychological treatments (Richardson, 2011). Telepsychology, or psychological interventions mediated by distance technology, can help overcome these obstacles and keep Australia’s clinicians and their clients at the cutting edge of mental health treatments and interventions. Telepsychology has many advantages over its face-to-face counterpart in that it is portable, currently relatively inexpensive, and can be conducted wherever suitable equipment and bandwidth are available. Telepsychology is a significant equaliser in the provision of treatment and support in Australia, particularly to rural and regional populations that have been traditionally underserved, and one in which practice has largely led research.
