What a telehealth consultation from Airlie Beach and Cannonvale involves: the QLD rules, your Primary Health Network, local hours and what to have ready.
Airlie Beach and Cannonvale by telehealth
Airlie Beach and Cannonvale are the mainland base for the Whitsunday Islands, on the coast north of Proserpine. For the 16,597 people the ABS counts in the Airlie Beach-Cannonvale urban area (June 2025, an increase of 1,830 people since 2021), a LeafLine Clinic consultation happens by video or telephone with an AHPRA-registered Clinician. Nobody needs a referral to book.
Airlie Beach and Cannonvale sits about 1,110 kilometres by road from Brisbane, around 14 hours behind the wheel. At that distance an appointment in Brisbane means flying, and telehealth is the practical way to see a Clinician.
Queensland rules that apply in Airlie Beach and Cannonvale
For an adult, Queensland has no state approval of its own in this kind of care, and its Regulation contains no per-patient dependence approval for it. The only application your Clinician lodges is the federal one.
Section 41 of the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019 (Qld) requires the prescriber to check QScript before every monitored prescription, and your Clinician records the result in your file.
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 Queensland changing-clinics page covers what transfers and what does not.
Seeing a Clinician from Airlie Beach and Cannonvale
-
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
Video works on a phone, tablet or computer. Where the connection is unreliable, a telephone consultation needs nothing more than reception, which makes it a workable option anywhere around Airlie Beach and Cannonvale. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time, year round.
-
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
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 QLD approval described above. Nothing is prescribed until those are granted. Reviews afterwards run by video or telephone in the same way.
Airlie Beach and Cannonvale's Primary Health Network
