Yes. Perth Home GP covers the whole Gosnells area. Our doctors visit patients across Gosnells, Thornlie, Maddington and Kenwick, out to Huntingdale, and into the newer suburbs of Southern River and Canning Vale. Because we come to you, there is no waiting room and no drive while you are unwell.
Gosnells is one of Perth’s established south-eastern suburbs, with an old town centre strung along the Canning River and the rail line, and streets that have been home to the same families for generations. That long history shows in the community: a large number of older residents who have aged in place, many of them now finding it harder to get out to a clinic, living alongside the younger families spreading through Southern River and Canning Vale. Both groups run into the same wall when the local practice is booked out or the day is done. A home visit answers that directly: the same care you would get from a GP in Gosnells, brought to your door, whether that is a one off or an arrangement that continues.
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, which suits many older Gosnells residents. 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.
Is there an urgent care clinic in Gosnells?
Gosnells has the Gosnells Medicare Urgent Care Clinic at Unit 1/2227 Albany Highway, Gosnells, offering walk-in care for urgent but non-emergency problems. Other nearby walk-in urgent care options are the St John Urgent Care at 1472 Albany Highway in Beckenham, open 8am to 9pm every day, and the St John Urgent Care at 3043 Albany Highway in Kelmscott, open 8am to 7pm. For emergency care, the nearest emergency department is at Armadale Health Service, off Albany Highway, open 24 hours and treating both adults and children, with Royal Perth Hospital in the city another option.
Those options still mean a trip out and, at the emergency department, a wait ordered by severity rather than by arrival. For an illness that needs a GP rather than a hospital, we come to you, day and night, so you are seen at home instead of travelling and waiting once you arrive. 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 Gosnells 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 Thornlie and my child is in real pain with what looks like an ear infection, crying and can’t settle. Our clinic’s closed and I don’t think it warrants an emergency department, but he needs to be seen and I’d rather not do a late-night drive with him this upset. Can someone come to us?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a GP will come to you in Thornlie this evening, examine his ears, and start treatment if it is an infection that needs it, along with advice on pain relief for the night. No drive and no waiting room. Call 1300 815 321.
“My mum’s in her eighties in Gosnells and pretty much housebound since a fall. She needs regular GP reviews but getting her to and from an appointment is a huge undertaking each time, and it wears her out for days. Is there a way a doctor can see her at home, ideally the same one each visit?”
Yes, and that is exactly what we are set up for. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will come to her in Gosnells, and because she needs ongoing reviews we can arrange regular, ongoing care at home with continuity, so she sees a familiar doctor rather than starting over each time. Call 1300 815 321.
“My partner and I have both come down with the flu in Canning Vale and it’s a Sunday, so our usual clinic is shut. We don’t think we need examining, we just want a doctor’s advice and certificates for work tomorrow. Is telehealth an option, or do we have to find somewhere open?”
Telehealth is a good fit. A GP can talk through your symptoms with each of you by phone or video, issue medical certificates and any scripts, and tell you if either of you should be seen in person. You will be speaking to a Perth-based doctor, and telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients. If someone does need examining, we can arrange a home visit in Canning Vale.

Can I get a prescription filled in Gosnells after hours?
The local first stop for many people is the Gosnells Pharmacy, a long-standing chemist in the town centre, with the Chemist Warehouse and Amcal options nearby and the Thornlie Square and Maddington Central pharmacies serving the surrounding suburbs. Hours vary, so a quick online search will show current opening hours before a late trip.
In many cases, though, you may not need a pharmacy at all. Our doctors carry starter medications for most urgent illnesses and can begin your treatment during the visit. 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, so you can use whichever pharmacy is open and closest.
