Typical telehealth consultations vary by purpose and provider, but here are common durations you can expect:

• Short follow-up or simple GP consult: 5–15 minutes.
• Standard GP appointment (problem that needs assessment/treatment): 10–20 minutes.
• New patient or complex medical issues: 20–40 minutes.
• Mental‑health/psychotherapy sessions: 30–60 minutes (commonly 50–60 minutes).
• Specialist or allied‑health sessions (physio, dietitian, etc.): 20–45 minutes, depending on the service.

Things that affect length:

• Complexity of the issue and how many problems you want to cover.
• Whether physical examination or tests are needed (these often require an in‑person visit).
• Administrative tasks (consent, medication reconciliation, referrals).
• The clinician’s scheduling (some run 10‑minute slots, others 20 or 30).

Practical tips:

• Tell reception when booking how long you think you need so they book an appropriate slot.
• Have your medicines list, recent results and questions ready to keep the consult efficient.
• Allow a few extra minutes for connection/setup and potential overruns.

If you want a specific time for a particular clinic or service, check with that practice — they set their own standard appointment lengths.
