Paediatric outreach services are provided in Australia and overseas to regional and rural communities. More recently telehealth services have been established to support the delivery of paediatric services and clinical management at distant sites. It is suggested that with the large distances separating centres in Australia that a combination of telehealth clinics and outreach visits may provide the most efficient means of delivering paediatric specialty and subspecialty care to these centres.
