The key point is that a video consult with a doctor is now (as of last week) available to most of the population, including those in the city, and can be claimed on Medicare. That’s a huge change from previously where it only applied in specific scenarios. I’m sure the RFDS did some video/phone consults but their patients are literally remote - some hundreds of kilometres from the next property.
