Telehealth test calls and troubleshooting

When to run a test call 

You can complete a pretest call at any time. 

However, we recommend that you run the following tests to check your video call setup on: 

  1. The day you book your appointment 
  2. Again, on the day of your appointment – that is, shortly before it takes place 

We also recommend that you run a precall test if you are using new devices – this will help to confirm whether your device is suitable. 

Some things to remember when running a test call 

  • Use an up-to-date computer, iPad, tablet, or smart phone connected to the internet
  • Use one of the following suitable browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, or Apple Safari
  • Always run the precall test on the same device that you intend to use during your telehealth consult

Test to see whether your video call setup works 

The Precall Test takes a couple of minutes to complete. 

If you like, you can conduct a live test call with the Telehealth team, so you know what to expect on the day of your appointment. 

  • Call (03) 8559 7578 during standard business hours to organise this

Otherwise, you can run a test call following these instructions by yourself: 

  1. Go to the Precall Test
  2. Click the Start Test button. 
  3. If a pop-up appears in your browser asking to use the microphone and/or camera, click the Allow button - please select Allow for both options, otherwise the video call will not work
  4. Wait while the test runs. The results will appear when the Precall Test is complete
