Visionflex partners with Amplar Home Health for a 15-month telehealth pilot in 30 aged care homes.
Project valued at AU$1 million, with rollout starting in July at five initial sites.
Telehealth initiative targets care access in rural, remote, and culturally diverse communities.
Health tech firm Visionflex Group (ASX:VFX) has inked a strategic AU$1 million partnership with Amplar Home Health, the care delivery arm of Medibank, to bring virtual nursing services and personalised clinical care to aged care homes across Australia.
The landmark agreement will see the two companies launch a 15-month telehealth pilot program aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery in up to 30 residential aged care homes (RACHs). The initiative, set to begin at five sites in July, is designed to provide timely, consistent medical care through virtual consultations—particularly for older Australians living in underserved or remote regions.
The total contract includes approximately AU$750,000 in one-off hardware revenue and AU$250,000 in software subscription fees, covering the trial period through to June 2027.
Expanding Care Access
At the core of the initiative is a scalable telehealth framework that can grow to accommodate more aged care facilities nationwide. Visionflex will provide its full suite of virtual care solutions—integrating hardware and software systems—to enable aged care staff to consult with off-site medical professionals for real-time diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of residents.
Telehealth sessions will allow aged care residents to connect with doctors and specialists from the comfort of their residence, supported by a family member or care worker.
Targeting Underserved Populations
The rollout will focus on areas where gaps in healthcare access are most pronounced, including facilities that care for older Australians from First Nations communities and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
With more than 2,700 aged care homes housing over 190,000 residents across the country, the potential for broad telehealth adoption is significant. Mr Mundey believes growing demand for digital health services makes virtual care a critical solution in modernising aged care delivery.
