At Aleafiate Health Clinics, we provide healthcare services to patients across Australia through telehealth, with face to face consultations also available at our Logan Central clinic in Queensland.
People come to us for different reasons. You may have an ongoing health concern, want another medical perspective, or need some clarity around the care available to you.
Whatever brings you in, the consultation starts with your health history and what is happening now. Your practitioner will ask about the reason for your appointment, medicines you currently take, treatment you have already tried and anything else that may be relevant before discussing where your care goes from there.

AssessmentIndividual health assessments and treatment planning
Your practitioner needs to understand more than the reason written on the booking form.
During the consultation, you can talk through what has been happening, how long it has been going on and any treatment or care you already receive. Current medicines, previous treatment and relevant medical history can all help your practitioner understand the situation properly.
If you already have useful information available, it can help to bring a current medication list, relevant medical reports or specialist letters, and details of other healthcare professionals involved in your care. It is also worth writing down anything you specifically want to ask so you do not forget it during the appointment.
You do not need to decide on a treatment beforehand.
Good to know: Treatment suitability and prescribing decisions are based on individual clinical assessment. Attending a consultation does not guarantee that a particular treatment or prescription will be recommended.
Chronic health management and ongoing care
Not every health concern is sorted in one appointment.
If you are managing something ongoing, your care may involve further consultations so your practitioner can see what has changed and review how things are going. Previous treatment, new symptoms and changes in your general health can all become relevant over time.
Tell your practitioner about any treatment you are receiving elsewhere too. They need enough information to understand how different parts of your healthcare fit together.
Your ConcernsWhat health concerns can you discuss with an Aleafiate practitioner?
You can raise a range of health concerns during your consultation.
This can include pain and physical discomfort, changes in sleep or rest, mental and emotional wellbeing, and women’s health concerns.
If pain or discomfort is the reason for your appointment, explain where it occurs, how long it has been present, what you have already tried and how it affects your day to day life.
For sleep concerns, it can help to describe what has actually changed. That might mean difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night or not feeling rested after sleep.
Mental and emotional wellbeing can also be discussed as part of your wider health. Let your practitioner know about any other healthcare or support you currently receive, particularly where another professional is already involved.
Women can also speak with a practitioner about health concerns that arise at different stages of life, providing the relevant symptoms and medical history so the issue can be properly assessed.
These discussions are there to help the practitioner understand your health. They should not be taken as an indication that a particular treatment will be suitable for a particular condition.
Telehealth consultations across Australia
If getting to our Logan clinic is difficult, or you would simply rather have the appointment remotely, telehealth is available across Australia.
For many patients, that removes a fair bit of practical hassle. Distance, work, family commitments and mobility can all make travelling to a clinic less convenient.
The medical side of the appointment still matters just as much. Your practitioner will ask about your health, review the information you provide and discuss the reason for your consultation.
There are situations where an online appointment will not be enough. If you need a physical examination, testing or another type of in person care, your practitioner may recommend that separately.
You can learn more about our telehealth consultations before booking if you want to understand how remote appointments work.
LocationsFace to face consultations in Logan Central
If you would rather see someone in person, appointments are available at our Logan Central clinic in Queensland.
You can find us at:
38/74 Wembley Road
Logan Central QLD 4114
Patients in and around Logan can attend the clinic, while telehealth gives people elsewhere in Australia another way to access a consultation.
The format can also depend on the appointment. An online consultation may suit one situation, while another may need to be handled in person.
Follow UpFollow up care and treatment reviews
If you need further review after the first consultation, you can book a follow up appointment.
This gives you time to discuss anything that has changed since your previous visit and allows the practitioner to review your existing care.
Where a prescription already forms part of clinically appropriate care, prescription requirements may also be reviewed as part of an ongoing consultation. Any prescribing decision remains a clinical decision made by the treating practitioner.
If you are taking medicines prescribed by another doctor, let us know. The same goes for supplements and other treatment you are receiving.
You can also meet our practitioners before your appointment and learn more about the healthcare professionals providing care at Aleafiate.
Healthcare support for nursing home residents
For nursing home residents, care can include individual health assessment, treatment planning and ongoing review.
Initial appointments may be conducted face to face, while some later consultations may be suitable for telehealth depending on the resident and their care requirements.
Residents in aged care will often already have several people involved in their health. Information about current medicines, medical history and existing healthcare providers can therefore be particularly important.
We also provide education and resources for healthcare providers and care teams involved in supporting residents.
What to expect when starting with Aleafiate
If you are booking online, you can begin by completing our initial questionnaire.
The consultation itself is where you can explain the reason for your appointment in more detail and discuss the health information that matters. You will also have time to ask questions.
If your practitioner needs more information, another assessment or a different type of care before making a clinical decision, they can explain that during the consultation.
There is no expectation that you arrive knowing what the answer should be. That is what the assessment is there to help work through.
How much do Aleafiate consultations cost?
Our initial consultation is currently $0 for a 30 minute comprehensive assessment.
Follow up consultations are $65 for 15 minutes and are intended for ongoing care reviews.
Medicare rebate eligibility varies depending on individual circumstances. You can view our current consultation pricing and booking information for the full details that apply to your appointment.
Choosing the right healthcare option
You do not need to work everything out before making an appointment.
Bring the health information you already have, explain what has been happening and ask whatever you want to understand better. Your practitioner can then assess your situation and talk through the options that are relevant to you.
If you would like to know more before booking, explore our healthcare services or contact our team with your questions.
