The Commission is seeking broad national feedback on the standards via online survey and written submissions.
Healthcare professionals, owners and managers of telehealth and virtual care services, as well as consumers, carers, researchers and policymakers are invited to have their say.
The draft virtual care standards are intended to establish clear, consistent expectations to strengthen the quality of care delivered virtually, through hospitals, primary and community healthcare, emergency care and commercial providers.
The consultation is open for five weeks and will close on Sunday 13 December 2026.
The standards will build on the National Model for Clinical Governance and align with the third edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
