Three ways to see a GP in Claremont
Daytime & after hours home visits
A GP comes to your home, day or night, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. A one off visit for anything you’d normally see a GP about.

See regular care →Is there a home doctor that covers Claremont?
Yes. Our doctors visit homes across Claremont, Nedlands, Dalkeith and Swanbourne, up through Mount Claremont and Karrakatta, down to the river and coast at Cottesloe, Mosman Park and Peppermint Grove, and along the UWA stretch at Crawley.
These are the western suburbs, and they hold a particular mix. Claremont Quarter and the Bay View Terrace strip anchor the retail end; UWA at Crawley brings a large student population; and the QEII medical precinct on the Nedlands side employs thousands. Behind all of that sit the long-settled riverside streets of Dalkeith and Peppermint Grove, where many residents are ageing in place, exactly the people who find the trip to a clinic hardest. Practices along Stirling Highway book out, and after hours the choices narrow to the hospital belt. A home visit closes that gap, whichever part of the coast you’re on.
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, so for anyone who’d value a doctor who comes to them for the ongoing things too, we can be your regular care. Our telehealth doctors are Perth-based.
Which emergency department is closest to Claremont?
Claremont sits close to the QEII precinct, which is worth knowing. For an adult emergency, the nearest emergency department is Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital at the QEII Medical Centre in Nedlands (G Block, Hospital Avenue, open 24 hours, (08) 6457 3333). For children, Perth Children’s Hospital is on the same campus (15 Hospital Avenue, open 24 hours, (08) 6456 2222). Hollywood Private Hospital in Nedlands also runs a 24-hour private emergency department (Monash Avenue, (08) 9346 6000); because it’s private, an out-of-pocket fee applies.
For walk-in urgent care that isn’t an emergency, the nearest St John Urgent Care is at Osborne Park (435 Scarborough Beach Road, open until 9pm, (08) 9267 8600). There’s no urgent care clinic in Claremont itself.
Living within reach of three emergency departments is reassuring, but it doesn’t make a 2am waiting room with a feverish child any more appealing, and severity triage means a GP-level problem waits a long time there. For an illness your GP would ordinarily handle, we come to you instead. If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance.
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 Claremont treat?
Because we’re a full GP service and not just an urgent care option, our doctors help with much more than one-off illnesses. A few examples:
“My husband and I are both in our eighties, on a quiet riverside street, and he has a slow-healing wound that needs regular dressing and a proper look. Neither of us drives with much confidence any more. Can a doctor come to us instead?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will check and re-dress it without either of you having to face the clinic run. Because this is exactly the kind of care that’s easier continued than restarted each time, we can keep it going as your regular care. See our regular care. Call 1300 815 321.
“I’m a UWA student in college accommodation and I’ve woken up with a red, sticky, uncomfortable eye. There’s conjunctivitis going round the residence and I think I’ve caught it. Do I have to get to a clinic?”
Not necessarily. A telehealth consult with a Perth-based GP can settle what it is, what to do about it, whether you need a script, and how to keep it from spreading, all without leaving the residence. For eligible patients, telehealth is bulk billed. Call 1300 815 321.
“My mother came home today from a hospital in the QEII precinct after a planned procedure, and by this evening it’s clear the pain relief she was sent home with isn’t enough. None of us wants to make the trip back to a hospital for something a GP could sort. Can someone come tonight?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a doctor will review her discharge medications, arrange appropriate pain relief, and, importantly, check there’s nothing that does need to go back to the treating team, with clear advice on the warning signs that would mean returning to hospital or calling 000. Call 1300 815 321.

Are home visits in Claremont bulk billed?
People do search for a bulk billing GP Claremont, so to be clear: home visits are not bulk billed. They carry an out-of-pocket fee, with a Medicare rebate available to reduce what you pay. Telehealth is bulk billed, but only for eligible patients: urgent issues after 11pm, children under 1, and anyone who’s had a Perth Home GP home visit in the last 12 months. You’ll always know the cost before a doctor is on the way. Full details on our fees page →

Is there a late-night pharmacy near Claremont?
Often you won’t need a pharmacy at all: our doctors carry starter medications for most urgent illnesses and can begin treatment during the visit. When you do need a script, your GP sends it to your phone as an eScript.
The late option is a local landmark of sorts: Stirling Drive In Pharmacy 777 at 234 Stirling Highway, Claremont, open until 11pm, and yes, it really is a drive-in. Through the day and evening you’re well covered too: Wizard Pharmacy Claremont in Claremont Quarter (until 9pm), Captain Stirling Pharmacy (150 Stirling Highway, Nedlands), Michael’s Chemist (248 Stirling Highway), and on the hospital side TerryWhite Chemmart Nedlands (Monash Avenue) and Hollywood Pharmacy (29 Hampden Road), the closest chemists for Dalkeith and Nedlands homes. For an urgent problem, our GPs can often give a starter dose of medication during the visit to tide you over until you can get to a pharmacy.
