Perth might be the most isolated capital city in the world, but getting a GP appointment here shouldn't feel like another kind of isolation. Between clinics that aren't taking new patients and wait lists measured in days — not hours — an online GP in Perth is often the fastest way to be seen: an AHPRA-registered doctor by phone or video, often the same day, from Joondalup to Fremantle or anywhere in WA.
Here's what telehealth can do for Perth patients, what it costs, and how to book.
Perth GP appointments by phone or video — AHPRA-registered doctors, consults from $49, certificates from $15.

Yes — from anywhere in Australia. Telehealth isn't tied to a clinic location: whether you're in the CBD, the northern suburbs or regional Western Australia, you can consult with an AHPRA-registered GP by phone or video. NewTeleDoc Medical's doctors follow the same clinical standards as an in-person clinic — the difference is you don't have to drive anywhere.
The one thing a telehealth GP can't do is physically examine you. If your situation needs hands-on assessment, the doctor will tell you directly and point you to the right in-person option.
