Teladoc Health has announced the acquisition of Telecare, which provides virtual allied and specialist healthcare services in Australia.
This strategic move aims to expand Teladoc Health’s footprint in the Australian healthcare market, providing broader access to virtual care for individuals in the country.
Telecare operates a virtual care clinic and has a network of more than 300 specialists across over 30 specialities.
The company has played a significant role in reducing wait times for patients and enhancing speciality care access, particularly in underserved areas.
Its services cater to appointments referred by general practitioners (GPs) and public hospitals.
The acquisition aligns with the enterprise strategy of Teladoc Health to grow its international business. The company has been operating in Australia for 15 years and offers virtual health services through partnerships with hospitals and insurers.
Recently, Teladoc Health introduced virtual care solutions to the hospital sector in Australia, including virtual neonatology at Mater Misericordiae University Hospital.
Teladoc Health International president Carlos Nueno said: “Teladoc Health is improving access to care globally through virtual innovation and technology.
“We believe joining forces with Telecare will help us advance our mission—especially for those in regional and remote areas—by combining our technological solutions and services to support one of the leading health markets around the world.”
In 2024, Teladoc Health reported revenues exceeding $2.5bn and facilitates access to care for over 100 million individuals.
It has integrated its technology across many health systems and hospitals globally. This includes Charité in Germany and the NHS in the UK.
Following the acquisition, Telecare will continue to operate under its brand, led by the management team and existing founders, ensuring continuity and local expertise for the Australian market.
Financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
“Teladoc Health expands in Australia with Telecare acquisition” was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.
