Mildura by telehealth
Mildura is on the Murray River in Victoria's far north-west, with Buronga and Gol Gol across the river in New South Wales. For the 54,379 people the ABS counts in the Mildura-Buronga urban area (June 2025, an increase of 704 people since 2021), a LeafLine Clinic consultation happens by video or telephone with an AHPRA-registered Clinician. Nobody needs a referral to book.
By road, Mildura is about 540 kilometres from Melbourne, roughly 7 hours of driving each way. At that distance an appointment in Melbourne is an overnight trip or a flight. The closest capital is Adelaide, about 400 kilometres away by road.
What Victorian law adds for patients in Mildura
The Victorian rule that matters most is the permit. A Clinician needs one from the Department of Health before prescribing to a patient with a history of drug dependence. For everyone else the Department’s published position is that no permit is required, and LeafLine schedules a week-seven review for Victorian patients because the Act itself refers to an eight-week mark.
Checking SafeScript before each prescription is a duty the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 (Vic) places on the prescriber, so your Clinician sees your recent prescribing history whether or not other records have arrived.
Mildura is in Victoria; Buronga and Gol Gol, across the river, are in New South Wales. The Victorian rules on this page apply to a patient living on the Mildura side.
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 Victoria changing-clinics page covers what transfers and what does not.
Seeing a Clinician from Mildura
-
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 Mildura. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time during standard time.
-
What to have ready
Keep your Medicare card, your home address and a list of what you currently take, with doses, within reach. Letters or results from other practitioners help if you have them. A closed room or a parked car gives you the privacy the conversation needs.
-
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 VIC approval described above. Nothing is prescribed until those are granted. Reviews afterwards run by video or telephone in the same way.
Mildura's Primary Health Network
The Primary Health Network for Mildura is Murray PHN. A PHN is a regional body funded by the Australian Government that commissions primary care services rather than providing consultations. LeafLine Clinic is a private telehealth clinic with no link to any PHN.
If you want local services alongside a telehealth Clinician, including a regular GP, the PHN's website is where to start looking.
