Dr Ashley Claire Fong
Endocrinologist & Fertility Specialist

Telehealth Consultations
One of our key mission is to support fertility treatment that is accessible to individuals from all walks of life. To make IVF affordable and attainable, we offer Telehealth consultations through video-conferencing (via Zoom) or phone for patients living in rural and remote areas of Australia.

The consultation will allow Dr Fong to investigate your situation and provide professional medical advice at your location. 

If IVF treatment is required, Dr Fong will work with you to overcome the practical aspects of having treatment as a long distance patient.
What is Telehealth video-conferencing (Zoom)?
  • Telehealth is a government initiative that enables patients living in rural and remote areas of Australia gain access to specialist services in major cities.
  • Under this scheme, if you live in an area classified as regional or remote, you're entitled to medicare rebate for Video or phone consultations with Dr Fong.  
  • If you live in RA1 = Metropolitan city, attendance is required to receive medicare rebate.
