The Dokotela approach
Care, community and collaboration are at the heart of how we do things. We've brought together a diverse group of experienced specialists who work in collaboration with our dedicated support team to deliver tailored care to our patients. Because there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health.
As a leading telehealth provider, we’re on a mission to solve inequality in mental healthcare. Our specialists and dedicated support team, including specialist telehealth doctors, work closely with GPs and PHNs to ensure we’re continually improving access to quality mental healthcare and always putting our patients first.

Breaking down barriers
We have delivered essential mental healthcare to thousands of Australians, particularly those in underserved rural and regional areas, who otherwise would struggle to get the help they need. We offer our patients a clinical care team who provides support and technical assistance, plus the benefits of tele-health which eliminates the need for travel, reduces costs and connects top-tier specialists with patients across the country.
A community that cares
At Dokotela, we're more than just healthcare professionals – we're a community of caring individuals dedicated to supporting your mental health journey. Our diverse team brings together warmth, expertise, and a genuine passion for helping others, creating an environment where you'll feel understood and supported every step of the way. We work together seamlessly to provide you with the personalised care you deserve.
We are proud to uphold the principles outlined in the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights and the Charter of Rights for Children and Young People, ensuring that every individual receives equitable, respectful, and patient-centred care. See here for more information.

Our story
"We saw a huge gap in mental health care accessibility, especially in rural areas of Australia. It was time to make a change."
Our journey began in 2017 when Dr. Zelko began offering telehealth to remote parts of Australia. Anita (his daughter), witnessing the stark inequality in mental healthcare accessibility and the commitment of GPs in those areas to assist their patients, Anita felt compelled to act and make this service available to all Australians, connecting patients with specialist telehealth doctors.
Our network of specialists is growing rapidly, as we know there is a need to deliver specialist services at scale across Australia. If you're looking for a psychiatrist near me, Dokotela provides accessible and convenient online consultations, ensuring you receive timely care regardless of your location.
Meet the founders
Dokotela was born out of a passion for changing the narrative around mental health and addressing the severe shortage of psychiatrists in Australia. Our collaborative care model allows psychiatrists to work online together with GP’s, nurse practitioners and other clinicians. This means significantly shorter wait times and better outcomes for the patient. Dokotela is our way of extending a helping hand to as many people as possible, irrespective of their location.
