Telehealth services support virtual care by allowing patients to consult healthcare providers remotely, enhancing access, convenience, and continuity of care while minimizing the need for in-person visits. For instance, in September 2024, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the national statistical agency of Australia, 83.5% of males reported using telehealth services in 2023-24, up from 78.6% in 2022-23. Therefore, the growing demand for telehealth services is fueling the growth of the virtual care market.
