Queanbeyan by telehealth
67,633 people lived in the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional local government area, which also takes in Bungendore and Braidwood at 30 June 2025 on the ABS's preliminary estimate, up from 63,404 in June 2021. Queanbeyan is in New South Wales, just across the border from Canberra, and the ABS counts the two as one urban area. Patients there see a LeafLine Clinician by video or telephone, from home, from work, or from anywhere with reception.
The drive from Queanbeyan to Sydney is about 290 kilometres, which takes around 3 and a half hours. A rooms appointment in Sydney would be a day trip for one consultation.
New South Wales rules that apply in Queanbeyan
In New South Wales the state layer is narrow. A NSW Health authority is needed where the Clinician considers the patient drug dependent, and otherwise the federal approval is the one your Clinician applies for. The state’s new medicines Act commences on 5 November 2026, and from that date NSW Health takes state applications through SafeScript NSW.
Before prescribing, your Clinician checks SafeScript NSW, the state’s real-time prescription monitoring system, which shows recent supply of monitored medicines.
Queanbeyan is in New South Wales, so the New South Wales rules on this page apply to a patient who lives there. The ACT rules, including the territory approval every ACT patient needs, apply to patients living in Canberra, a few kilometres west; the Canberra page sets them out.
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 Queanbeyan
-
Check your eligibility
A short confidential questionnaire tells you whether the service is a fit before you pay for anything. LeafLine sees adults aged 18 and over.
-
Book video or telephone
Video works on a phone, tablet or computer with a camera. If video is not workable on the day, a telephone consultation is available instead. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time during standard time.
-
What to have ready
Have a list of your current medications and doses, any recent letters, results or discharge summaries, your Medicare card if you have one, and your home address, which goes on any prescription. Take the call somewhere private: a parked car works, an open-plan office does not.
-
After the consultation
A consultation does not end in a prescription by default. If the Clinician considers a treatment appropriate and it needs a TGA approval, they lodge a Category B application in their own name, together with any NSW application, and wait for both before prescribing. Later reviews follow the same video or telephone format.
Queanbeyan's Primary Health Network
Queanbeyan falls within South Eastern NSW PHN (COORDINARE). Primary Health Networks are independent organisations funded by the Australian Government to plan and commission primary health care in their regions. They do not hold consultations themselves, and LeafLine Clinic is not part of, funded by or endorsed by any of them.
A PHN's website is a sensible place to look for the GPs, pharmacies and community services in your area, which matter alongside any telehealth care.
