Tele-web Psychology in Rural South Australia: The Logistics of Setting Up a Remote University Clinic Staffed by Clinical Psychologists in Training.

There is a significant shortage of clinical psychology services in rural and remote Australia. It is proposed that tele-web psychology may provide one potential solution to this inequity in health provision. A tele-web psychology project was developed through a partnership between a university and country health service setting in rural South Australia. Tele-web psychology was conducted by Provisional Psychologists on their first clinical placement, with patients attending sessions in a community mental health team hub in a regional centre north of Adelaide. This article describes the logistics of setting up a collaborative tele-web psychology service and makes recommendations on how to expedite the success of this type of venture.
