Abstract
[Extract] Telemedicine is a technology that has come of age, now it must be put to use to address inequities in cancer care. The principles and applications of telemedicine have undergone rapid evolution over the last two years globally.1, 2 Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the utilisation of telemedicine was largely driven by local champions and lacked systematic uptake despite Government investment and incentives at both state and commonwealth levels. The pandemic and the resulting need for social distancing saw rapid and widespread adoption of telephone and telehealth services aided by Government funding, even for patients in metropolitan areas. Now is the time to leverage this momentum to embed telemedicine in our health systems.
