When it feels too small to raise
Tired days and a scattered focus often feel too ordinary to book in about. Your practitioner listens first and starts with your history.
Cognitive Health consultations
Long days and short nights can make focus harder to hold. A Cognitive Health consultation is a live telehealth appointment by video, with a check-in every month after.
- Live consultation
- A check-in every month
- Private and secure
When focus takes more effort than it used to.
You might read the same email twice, or lose the thread by mid-afternoon. For many busy professionals it builds slowly, alongside a heavier workload and shorter sleep. It is easy to call it a busy patch and keep going.
A Cognitive Health consultation makes time for it. Your practitioner reads your assessment first. Then you talk live about focus, sleep and work as one picture. If your GP or a psychologist suits you better, your practitioner says so and helps with the referral.
Sleep and work as one picture
The Sleep Health Foundation suggests 7 to 9 hours a night for most adults. Your practitioner looks at your sleep and your workload together.
A check-in every month
Patterns are hard to see from inside a busy month. Your practitioner meets you live each month to review what changed, and the next step is yours.

What is a Cognitive Health consultation?
A Cognitive Health consultation is a live telehealth appointment with an Australian practitioner, by video. You talk through focus, concentration and mental energy, and how they sit with your work and sleep. If deemed medically appropriate, you agree a plan together. Advice, monitoring, a referral or no treatment are also possible outcomes.
Will I speak with a practitioner?
You always speak with a practitioner. A live video consultation follows the short assessment. The assessment helps your practitioner prepare, and it never decides your care on its own. Your practitioner reads your answers and your health history before you meet, so the conversation starts where you are.
How much does a Cognitive Health consultation cost?
The initial consultation is $79. It is a live video consultation with an Australian practitioner. If a care plan is deemed medically appropriate, the monthly care plan is $59 per month. Each month includes a live check-in by video or phone and a written summary.
How much time does it take?
The assessment takes a few minutes. Your first consultation is by video. You can join from home, or from a quiet room at work. You do not need to travel or sit in a waiting room. Each monthly check-in is live too, by video or phone, at a time that suits your week.
Do I have to commit to ongoing care?
There is no obligation to book after the assessment. If a care plan is deemed medically appropriate, it runs month to month. At every live check-in you choose to continue, adjust or conclude your care. Your progress stays in one place, and a written summary follows each check-in.
Can my GP stay involved?
Your GP can stay part of your care. With your consent, your practitioner can share a summary of your consultations with your GP. If your GP or a psychologist suits you better, your practitioner will help with the referral. You decide what is shared, and when.
Who sees what I share?
Your answers and consultation notes are handled under the Privacy Act 1988. Your practitioner reads them to prepare for your care. We share it with others, such as your GP, only with your consent or where the law requires. Each consultation is a calm, private conversation.
What if my mood is low?
Cognitive Health consultations look at focus, concentration and mental energy. For low mood, worry or distress, please speak to your GP. Your GP can assess how you are and arrange the right support. To talk to someone now, call Lifeline on 13 11 14. In an emergency, call 000.
What if my memory or thinking changes suddenly?
Sudden changes in memory, speech, vision or thinking need urgent care in person. Call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department straight away. Telehealth is the wrong setting for a sudden change. Afterwards, your GP can help you plan any follow-up care.
