Goulburn by telehealth
Goulburn is on the Hume Highway between Sydney and Canberra, and it is closer by road to the national capital than to its own. For the 25,647 people the ABS counts in the Goulburn urban area (June 2025, an increase of 957 people since 2021), a LeafLine Clinic consultation happens by video or telephone with an AHPRA-registered Clinician. Nobody needs a referral to book.
The drive from Goulburn to Sydney is about 190 kilometres, which takes around 2 and a half hours. Seeing someone in Sydney in person usually means taking the day off. The closest capital is Canberra, about 90 kilometres away by road.
The NSW rules for a patient in Goulburn
New South Wales asks for a NSW Health authority only where the Clinician considers the patient drug dependent. For most adults the only approval in play is the federal one, which your Clinician applies for in their own name. On 5 November 2026 the Medicines, Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 2022 (NSW) replaces the 1966 Act; NSW Health’s guidance keeps dependence as the trigger and moves state applications into SafeScript NSW.
Before prescribing, your Clinician checks SafeScript NSW, the state’s real-time prescription monitoring system, which shows recent supply of monitored medicines.
The federal side is the same everywhere. Our guide to getting a prescription through SAS-B explains the TGA approval, and if you are moving from another clinic, the New South Wales changing-clinics page covers what transfers and what does not.
Your consultation, taken in Goulburn
-
Check your eligibility
The eligibility questionnaire is confidential and comes before any booking or payment. LeafLine Clinic consults with adults only, aged 18 and over.
-
Book video or telephone
Choose video if you have a camera and a steady connection, or telephone if you would rather. Both reach the same Clinician and run the same way. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time during standard time.
-
What to have ready
Before the call, write down the medications you take and their doses, and gather any recent results or specialist letters. Your Clinician also confirms your Medicare details and home address. Pick a spot where nobody can overhear you.
-
After the consultation
If your Clinician decides a treatment is appropriate, they apply for the approvals it needs in their own name: the TGA's Special Access Scheme Category B approval where the medicine is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, plus any NSW approval described above. Nothing is prescribed until those are granted. Reviews afterwards run by video or telephone in the same way.
Goulburn's Primary Health Network
The Primary Health Network for Goulburn is South Eastern NSW PHN (COORDINARE). The Australian Government funds 31 Primary Health Networks to plan and commission local primary care, such as after-hours and allied health services, without seeing patients themselves. LeafLine Clinic is independent of every PHN and receives no PHN funding.
If you want local services alongside a telehealth Clinician, including a regular GP, the PHN's website is where to start looking.
