The Australasian Telehealth Society was formed in 2008 to fill a long-felt need to create a forum for all of those involved in telehealth in Australia and New Zealand.
In 2020, the Society was renamed the Australian Telehealth Society, in recognition of the focus of activities being in Australia and the activities of the NZ Telehealth Forum in New Zealand.
It is the National Member for Australia of the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH).
