Three ways to see a GP in Victoria Park
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.

Telehealth consults → Ongoing careRegular care
Perth Home GP can be your regular GP at home in Victoria Park, with a lead GP who visits you and oversees all of your care.

Yes, and Victoria Park is very much home turf for us. A Perth Home GP doctor will come to you across Victoria Park, East Victoria Park, Lathlain and Carlisle, over to Burswood on the river, with St James and Bentley on the Curtin side covered as well.
It’s a part of Perth that keeps long hours: the Albany Highway café and restaurant strip is one of the best known in the city, and the town centre around it stays busy into the evening. Burswood carries the stadium and entertainment precinct on the river bend; Lathlain holds the West Coast Eagles’ training base at Mineral Resources Park; and behind the strip you’ll find young renters and apartment dwellers living alongside families who’ve held the same Carlisle and Lathlain streets for decades. The restaurants trade later than the doctors do, though. The clinics along Albany Highway book out, and after hours the options thin quickly. A home visit closes that gap: whoever you are on the strip, we come to you.
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 if what you need is ongoing rather than one-off, we can be your regular care too. Our telehealth doctors are Perth-based.
Is there an urgent care clinic in Victoria Park?
There’s no hospital and no urgent care clinic in Victoria Park itself, so it’s worth knowing where the nearest help is. For adults, the closest emergency department is Royal Perth Hospital, just over the Causeway (South Block, 197 Wellington Street, open 24 hours, (08) 9224 2244). For children, it’s Perth Children’s Hospital in Nedlands (15 Hospital Avenue, open 24 hours, (08) 6456 2222). Bentley Hospital is close by, but it has no emergency department.
For walk-in urgent care that isn’t an emergency, the nearest option is St John Urgent Care Cannington, at 1472 Albany Highway, Beckenham (open until 9pm, (08) 9350 8000). There’s no Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in the CBD; the nearest bulk-billed one is the Perth City Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in Morley (40 Rudloc Road, open until 10pm).
Living a short drive from an emergency department doesn’t make a late-night waiting room the right place for a GP-level illness: a bad ear, a rash, a script that’s run out, a child who’s miserable but stable. For those, an emergency department means a long wait behind genuinely urgent cases, and an urgent care clinic means a drive and a queue. We come to you instead, day or night. If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance; a home visit is not the right call in those moments.
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 Victoria Park 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:
“It’s 7:30 on a Friday evening in the strip-side streets and our toddler has come out in the tell-tale spots of chickenpox: itchy, unsettled, and not going to settle for anyone. It’s not an emergency, but we don’t want to leave it until Monday either, and the clinic’s shut. Can someone come out?”
Yes. Book an after hours home visit and a doctor will come to the house, confirm it, and talk you through keeping the little one comfortable and exactly what to watch for over the next few days. Nobody has to bundle a scratchy toddler into the car. Call 1300 815 321.
“I’ve come out in a burning, one-sided rash across my ribs and I’m fairly sure it’s shingles. I’m on a long-settled Lathlain street and getting to a clinic is more than I can manage today. Can a doctor come to me?”
Yes. Book a daytime home visit and a GP will examine it and start treatment early, which matters most in the first couple of days. And because this is exactly the kind of thing that makes the surgery trip hardest, we can pick up your ongoing care from here too. See our regular care. Call 1300 815 321.
“I’m staying in an apartment near the stadium precinct and I’ve come down with a nasty bout of food poisoning after a night out. I don’t have a GP here and it’s late. Can I talk to a doctor?”
Yes. A telehealth consult with a Perth-based doctor can sort out whether it’s something you can manage at home, what to take, and a script if you need one, with clear advice on the signs that would mean seeking in-person care. For eligible patients, telehealth is bulk billed. Call 1300 815 321.

Are home visits in Victoria Park bulk billed?
A lot of people in Victoria Park search for a bulk billing doctor. 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. We’ll always be clear about the cost before a doctor is on the way. Full details on our fees page →
What suburbs near Victoria Park do you visit?
Victoria Park is one of many areas we service. Our doctors visit homes right across the Perth metro area and down the coast to Mandurah. Nearby, that includes:
Can I get a prescription filled in Victoria Park after hours?
Often you won’t 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 fill it wherever suits.
If you’re filling one late, the genuine after-hours option is Botts Compounding Pharmacy at 1098 Albany Highway, at the St James end of the strip, trading until 11pm. Through the day and into the evening, the strip is well served: Chemist Warehouse Victoria Park (348 Albany Hwy), Park Centre Pharmacy (789 Albany Hwy), Priceline East Victoria Park (779 Albany Hwy) and Pharmacy 777 East Victoria Park (968B Albany Hwy). Pharmacy hours do shift, so a quick online search will show current opening hours.
Frequently asked
FAQs
How quickly can a doctor come to my house in Victoria Park?
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 Victoria Park 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 Victoria Park at night and on weekends?
Yes. We visit homes in Victoria Park in the evenings, overnight, on weekends and on public holidays, a home doctor and night doctor service for when your usual clinic is closed.
Do you visit East Victoria Park, Lathlain and Carlisle?
Yes. East Victoria Park, Lathlain, Carlisle and Burswood are all within our regular Victoria Park catchment, along with St James and Bentley on the Curtin side. If you’re nearby and not sure, just call and ask.
Are home visits in Victoria Park bulk billed?
No. Home visits have an out-of-pocket fee with a Medicare rebate available. Telehealth is bulk billed for eligible patients: urgent issues after 11pm, children under 1, and patients with a Perth Home GP home visit in the last 12 months.
Is there a walk-in GP clinic in Victoria Park?
There are medical centres along Albany Highway, but they keep set hours and book out, and none of them will come to you. If you’d rather not sit in a waiting room, or the clinics have closed, a doctor can visit you at home in Victoria Park instead.
Is there an urgent care clinic in Victoria Park?
No. The nearest walk-in urgent care is St John Urgent Care in Beckenham (to 9pm). If you think you might be having an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 000 for an ambulance; the nearest emergency departments are Royal Perth Hospital for adults and Perth Children’s Hospital for children. Bentley Hospital has no emergency department. For a GP-level illness, we can come to you instead of a queue.
Is there a late-night pharmacy in Victoria Park?
The genuine late option is Botts Compounding Pharmacy at the St James end of Albany Highway, open until 11pm, alongside the strip’s daytime chemists. In most cases your GP can send a script straight to your phone as an eScript, and 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.
