Three ways to see a GP in Midland
Daytime & after hours home visits

See regular care →Is there a home doctor that covers Midland?
Yes. Perth Home GP covers the whole Midland area. Our doctors visit patients across Midland, Midvale, Guildford and South Guildford, out through Woodbridge, Viveash and Bellevue, and up into the hills-edge suburbs of Swan View, Greenmount, Koongamia, Stratton, Jane Brook, Helena Valley and Hazelmere. Because we come to you, there is no waiting room and no drive while you are unwell.
Midland is the eastern gateway to Perth, the point where the metro area runs up against the Swan Valley and the foot of the Darling Scarp. It carries a lot of history with it: the old railway town and the Midland Railway Workshops precinct that now houses the Midland GP Superclinic, historic Guildford by the river, and Midland Gate at the centre of it all. That growth has not been matched by easy access to care. The larger practices around Midland Gate and along Great Eastern Highway book out, and for a family in Swan View or an older resident up in Greenmount, simply reaching an open clinic after hours can be the hard part. A home visit closes that gap: the same care you would get from a GP in Midland, 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, clinics and referral pathways in a way that interstate services often cannot.
Does Midland have an emergency department?
Yes. St John of God Midland Public Hospital has an emergency department open 24 hours a day, every day, treating both adults and children. It is a 307-bed public hospital run in partnership with the State Government, on Clayton Street. For non-emergencies, Midland also has two walk-in urgent care options: St John Urgent Care Midland at 8 Clayton Street, open 8am to 9pm every day, and the bulk billed Midland Medicare Urgent Care Clinic.
A lot of people search for how long the wait is at the Midland hospital and urgent care, and it is a fair question. Emergency departments see patients in order of how serious their condition is, not in order of arrival, so a non-urgent problem can mean a long wait among people who are more unwell. For an illness that needs a GP rather than a hospital, we come to you, day or night, which means you wait at home rather than in a waiting room. 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 at St John of God Midland Public Hospital, open 24 hours.
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 Midland 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:
“My father in Guildford has an infected leg that’s gone red and hot, and it’s got worse over the weekend. He can’t get himself to a clinic and it’s Sunday night. I don’t think it’s a 000 situation, but he really needs to be seen today. Is that possible?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a GP will come to him in Guildford this evening, examine the leg, and if it is cellulitis start treatment on the spot. If it turns out to need hospital care, the doctor will tell you plainly and help you arrange it. Call 1300 815 321.
“It’s late in Swan View and my baby, who’s not quite one yet, has a fever and won’t settle. I’m not sure it’s serious enough to pack her into the car, but I’d feel much better getting a doctor’s advice tonight. What are my options?”
Not necessarily a trip out. For a young child, telehealth is often the right first step: a GP can talk through her symptoms with you by phone or video and advise whether she needs to be seen in person tonight. Telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients, including children under 1 and urgent issues after 11pm, and the GP will advise if an in-person assessment is needed urgently that night.
“I’ve hurt my back lifting at home in Stratton and I can barely move, but I don’t think it’s an emergency. I need to be seen and sorted before I can even think about work this week. Can a doctor come to the house during the day?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will come to you in Stratton, assess the injury, sort pain relief and a medical certificate if you need one, and arrange imaging or a referral if anything points to more than a simple strain. Call 1300 815 321.

Can I get a prescription filled in Midland after hours?
If you are searching for a chemist that is open now in Midland, hours change from day to day, so a quick online search will show current opening hours. The good news is that in many cases you may not need the trip 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 and you can take it to any pharmacy. Around Midland Gate and the town centre you will find Pharmacy 777 Midland, Optimal Pharmacy Midland and the Midland Gate pharmacies, with Greg’s Pharmacy, Slade Pharmacy and Midland Pharmacy & Compounding among the local options across the wider area. Because your script is an eScript, you can simply use whichever pharmacy is open and closest when you need it.
Frequently asked
FAQs
How quickly can a doctor come to my house in Midland?
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 Midland 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.

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 Midland for an illness that can’t wait until morning, call 1300 815 321. For anything life-threatening, call 000.

Is there a walk-in GP clinic in Midland?

Yes. There are two walk-in options: St John Urgent Care Midland at 8 Clayton Street, open 8am to 9pm every day, and the bulk billed Midland Medicare Urgent Care Clinic. 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 St John of God Midland Public Hospital, open 24 hours, treating adults and children. Our own alternative is to come to you: a home visit or telehealth is often faster than a waiting room.

Several Midland pharmacies open late, and a quick online search will show current opening hours. Around Midland Gate and the town centre you will find Pharmacy 777, Optimal Pharmacy and others.
