See regular care →Is there a home doctor that covers Armadale?
Yes. Perth Home GP covers the whole Armadale WA area. Our doctors visit patients across Armadale, Kelmscott, Seville Grove and Camillo, out to the newer suburbs of Haynes, Hilbert and Forrestdale, and up onto the slopes at Mount Nasura and Mount Richon, along with Brookdale and Champion Lakes. Because we come to you, there is no waiting room and no drive while you are unwell.
Armadale sits at the south-eastern edge of the metro area, in the foothills where the plain meets the Darling Scarp. Armadale and Kelmscott run north to south along Albany Highway with the hills rising behind them at Mount Nasura and Mount Richon, while the growth suburbs of Haynes, Hilbert and the Harrisdale edge fill in fast to the west. Locals still know the district’s hospital by its older name, the Armadale Kelmscott Memorial Hospital. All that growth has stretched the established clinics along Forrest Road and around the town centre, and a same-day appointment is not always there when you need one. A home visit closes that gap: the same care you would get from a GP in Armadale, brought to where you are.
Perth Home GP is a fully accredited general practice, not a telehealth-only or urgent care service. The doctors who visit are all GP Fellows (FRACGP or FACRRM), providing full GP care at home, seven days a week, in hours as well as after hours. That means we can help with a one off illness or provide regular, ongoing care for someone who finds it hard to leave the house. And because our telehealth is staffed by GPs based here in Perth, they understand the local hospitals and referral pathways in a way interstate services often cannot.
Where is the urgent care clinic for Armadale?
Armadale Health Service has an emergency department open 24 hours a day, every day, treating both adults and children, with the entrance to the right of the main entrance off Albany Highway. For non-emergency walk-in care, there is a St John Urgent Care at 3043 Albany Highway, Kelmscott, open 8am to 7pm every day. The St John site in Armadale itself, at Armadale Central, offers GP and dental appointments rather than walk-in urgent care, so knowing which address is which saves a wasted trip.
Both of those still mean travelling in and, at the emergency department, waiting your turn by severity rather than arrival. For an illness that needs a GP rather than a hospital, we come to you, day and night, which for many Armadale patients is quicker and easier than the drive up Albany Highway and the wait once you get there. The emergency department off Albany Highway is open around the clock if you need it.
Meet the team behind your care
Our team of GPs, together with our practice nurse and geriatrician, provide regular and urgent care through home visits and telehealth, day and night.
What can a home doctor in Armadale treat?
Because we are a full GP service and not just an urgent care option, our doctors help with much more than one off illnesses. A few examples:
“It’s 9pm in Seville Grove, my toddler’s spiked a fever and I’ve only got the one car, which my partner’s taken to a night shift. I’m stuck at home with a sick little one and I don’t think it’s an emergency, but I’d really like a doctor to look at her. What can I do?”
Book an after hours home visit. A GP will come to you in Seville Grove this evening, examine your daughter, work out what is going on, and give you clear advice on what to watch for overnight. No car and no waiting room required. Call 1300 815 321.
“My husband and I are both in our eighties, up on the hill at Mount Nasura, and he’s come down with a nasty chest, most likely bronchitis. Neither of us is confident driving down to a clinic, especially not after dark. Could a doctor come during the day instead?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will come up to you in Mount Nasura, listen to his chest, and start treatment if it is a bronchitis that needs it. If either of you would be better off seeing the same doctor regularly rather than just once, we also provide regular, ongoing care at home. Call 1300 815 321.
“We’ve just moved to Haynes and haven’t sorted out a regular GP yet. Now I’ve gone down with something on a public holiday when everything seems to be closed. I don’t know where to turn, and I’m not sure it needs a hospital. Any advice?”
Start with telehealth. A GP can talk through your symptoms by phone or video, sort a script or a medical certificate if you need one, and tell you plainly whether you should be seen in person. Telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients, and if the doctor thinks you need examining, we can arrange a home visit in Haynes.

Can I get a prescription filled in Armadale after hours?
If you are looking for a chemist open now in Armadale, hours vary, so a quick online search will show what is open. Often, though, you may not need the trip: our doctors carry starter medications for most urgent illnesses and can begin your treatment during the visit, and during a night-time home visit your GP can often give you a starter dose to tide you over until you can get to a pharmacy.
When you do need a script, your GP sends it to your phone as an eScript and you can take it to any pharmacy. For the Armadale WA town centre, options include the Chemist Warehouse on Forrest Road and the pharmacies at Armadale Central, with chemists up in Kelmscott serving the northern suburbs. Because it is an eScript, you can simply choose whichever pharmacy is open when you need it.
Frequently asked
FAQs
How quickly can a doctor come to my house in Armadale?
It depends on demand at the time, so the best way to get an accurate arrival window is to call. Ring 1300 815 321 with your Armadale address, and you’ll get a provisional ETA when you call. The visiting GP will then message you with a more accurate arrival time and keep you updated if there’s any delay.
Do you do home visits in Armadale at night and on weekends?
Yes. Our doctors are available day and night, seven days a week, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. If you need a night doctor in Armadale for an illness that can’t wait until morning, call 1300 815 321. For anything life-threatening, call 000.
Do you visit Kelmscott, Seville Grove and Haynes?

Telehealth, however, is bulk billed for eligible patients (urgent issues after 11pm and children under 1), and we bulk bill telehealth for all patients for 12 months after a home visit from us. See our fees page for current figures.
Is there a walk-in GP clinic in Armadale?
There are established medical centres around Armadale, along Forrest Road and the town centre, that take bookings and sometimes walk-ins. Perth Home GP does not run a clinic: instead of a waiting room, we come to you, at home, day or night. If you would prefer to be seen without leaving the house, call 1300 815 321.
Is there an urgent care clinic in Armadale?
There is a St John Urgent Care at 3043 Albany Highway, Kelmscott, open 8am to 7pm every day. If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance. The nearest emergency department is Armadale Health Service, off Albany Highway, which is open 24 hours, treating adults and children. Our own alternative is to come to you, or provide a telehealth consultation, which for a GP-level illness is often faster than a waiting room.
Is there a late-night pharmacy in Armadale?
Several Armadale WA pharmacies open late, and a quick online search will show current opening hours. Options around the town centre include the Chemist Warehouse on Forrest Road and the Armadale Central pharmacies. Any script your GP issues is sent to your phone as an eScript, so you can use whichever pharmacy suits. For urgent issues, our GPs can often give you a starter dose during a home visit to tide you over until you can get to a pharmacy.
