Spotlight on Telehealth Social Work Practice 26 Jun 24

Join us for this lunchtime webinar presented by Dr Monica Hadges, an expert in tele-mental health through her client-centred care e-collaboration and PhD research.

In order to offer flexibility, increased choices for consumers in remote locations, accessibility for populations with mobility or other access needs, and expand service possibilities for providers, it is essential that social workers navigate telehealth ethics, privacy, and data security standards.

Telehealth practice adopts the use of internet-based tools like videoconferencing to facilitate person-to person service provision.

The Covid 19 pandemic accelerated the rise of digital tools in practice, changing the way primary health, mental health, wellbeing, and community support services can be accessed and delivered.

How and what social workers offer clients via telehealth tools will depend on the specific context of practice, regulatory, evidence-based frameworks, and professional ethics.

This session will reflect on issues of informed consent, privacy, and data security that social workers need to be aware of, when considering telehealth service delivery ethically for different populations and age groups across Australia.
