Three ways to see a GP in Fremantle
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 Fremantle?
Yes. Perth Home GP covers the whole Fremantle area. Our doctors visit patients across Fremantle, North Fremantle, East Fremantle and South Fremantle, along with Beaconsfield, White Gum Valley, Hilton, O’Connor, Samson, Palmyra and Bicton. Because we come to you, there is no waiting room and no drive while you are unwell.
Getting a timely appointment in Freo is not always easy. The established medical centres around the West End and along South Street book out, and a fair share of the port city’s residents, from students and visitors to people in the heritage streets, can find it hard to reach an open clinic, especially after hours. A home visit closes that gap: the same care you would get from a GP in Fremantle, delivered where you are.
There is more than one Fremantle Doctor, of course. The one that rolls in off the water on a summer afternoon is welcome; the other kind, ours, turns up whenever you actually need one.
Does Fremantle have an emergency department?
No, Fremantle Hospital does not have an emergency department. If you need emergency care, the nearest emergency department is at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Murdoch, which sees both adults and children. Adults can also be seen at the St John of God Murdoch Hospital emergency department, which is a private ED, so out of pocket fees may apply.
For non-emergency walk-in urgent care, the nearest option is St John Urgent Care Cockburn at 816 Beeliar Drive, Success.
For an illness that needs a GP rather than a hospital, we come to you, day or night, which for many Fremantle patients is faster and easier than getting to and waiting in an emergency department.
“I called Perth Home GP to help my sick fiancé after we couldn’t get into our regular doctor. After a long and painful ordeal at the hospital earlier in the week, the care and support we received from this service was a breath of fresh air. Dr. Gecan was prompt, kind, and efficient… Based in Fremantle, I was so impressed by how quickly they arrived and the level of care they offered.”
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 Fremantle treat?
Our GPs handle the same range of concerns as a regular appointment, for example:
“My elderly mum in East Fremantle has a suspected UTI and can’t get to her clinic. Can a doctor see her at home today?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will come to her in East Fremantle, assess her, and start treatment on the spot if a UTI is confirmed. Call 1300 815 321.
“It’s 10pm in White Gum Valley and my little one has a high fever. I don’t think it’s serious enough for an emergency department, but I’d really like a doctor to check her over and put my mind at ease. Can someone come tonight?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a GP will come to you in White Gum Valley this evening to examine her, talk through what is going on, and give you clear advice on what to watch for.
“I’m a student in Fremantle with no car and I’ve run out of my regular prescription. Do I have to get to a clinic to renew it?”
Not necessarily. For things that don’t need an in-person examination, like a repeat prescription, a telehealth consult by phone or video can sort it, and your script is sent straight to your phone. Telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients.

What suburbs near Fremantle do you visit?
We also visit the areas around Fremantle, including:
Can I get a prescription filled in Fremantle after hours?
Often you won’t need to chase one. Our doctors carry starter medications for most urgent illnesses, so in most circumstances they can start your treatment during the visit and you avoid a trip to the pharmacy altogether. 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. If you need a chemist and it is late, options in and around Fremantle include Pharmacy 777 Fremantle, Fremantle WholeLife Pharmacy, Fremantle Central Pharmacy, Greg’s Chemist in South Fremantle, Caring Pharmacy in East Fremantle, and Chemist Warehouse Fremantle. A quick online search will show current opening hours.
The latest-opening option south of the river is Harvest Lakes Pharmacy in Atwell. Although its name suggests 24/7, it is open until 11pm every night, so it is a good bet for late evenings.
Frequently asked
FAQs
How quickly can a doctor come to my house in Fremantle?
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 Fremantle 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 Fremantle 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 Fremantle for an illness that can’t wait until morning, call 1300 815 321. For anything life-threatening, call 000.
Do you visit East Fremantle, South Fremantle and North Fremantle?
Yes, all three, along with the rest of the Fremantle area. Our coverage includes East Fremantle, South Fremantle, North Fremantle, Beaconsfield, White Gum Valley, Hilton, O’Connor, Samson, Palmyra and Bicton.
Are home visits in Fremantle bulk billed?
No, home visits have an out of pocket fee, though a Medicare rebate is available to reduce the cost. 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 Fremantle?
There are established medical centres in and around Fremantle that take bookings and, in some cases, walk-ins, but 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 near Fremantle?
If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance. In an emergency the nearest departments are Fiona Stanley Hospital in Murdoch (adults and children) and, for adults, the St John of God Murdoch Hospital emergency department (a private ED, so fees may apply). For non-emergency walk-in urgent care, the nearest option is St John Urgent Care Cockburn at 816 Beeliar Drive, Success. Our own alternative is to come to you: an after hours home visit or telehealth is often faster than a waiting room.
Is there a late-night pharmacy in Fremantle?
Several Fremantle pharmacies open late, and a quick online search will show current opening hours. For a later option south of the river, Harvest Lakes Pharmacy in Atwell is open until 11pm every night; despite the 24/7 in its name it does close at 11pm, so plan around that if you need something in the small hours. 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.
