Paediatric outreach services are provided in Australia and overseas to regional and rural communities. More recently telehealth services have been established to support the delivery of paediatric services and clinical management at distant sites. It is suggested that with the large distances separating centres in Australia that a combination of telehealth clinics and outreach visits may provide the most efficient means of delivering paediatric specialty and subspecialty care to these centres.
澳大利亚国内外都为偏远和农村社区提供儿科外展服务。最近还设立了远程医疗服务，以支持在偏远地区提供儿科服务和临床管理。鉴于澳大利亚各中心之间距离遥远，有人建议，远程医疗诊所和外展访问相结合可能是为这些中心提供儿科专科和亚专科护理的最有效方式。
