Ongoing care
Step out of the clinic, into the community
Work for Perth's first home GP practice providing comprehensive, continuous care to patients who can't get to a clinic. Flexible schedule. Take home up to $325 an hour.
Regular Care GP
Locum Home Visit GP
GP practice
Full GP care, in the patient's own home.
Unlike after-hours services, we're a GP-fellow-only service bringing full GP care to patients who can't get to a clinic.
We provide care to patients in their own homes, combining regular ongoing care with locum home visits and telehealth day and night, supported by a geriatrician and practice nurse.
We don't provide care in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs).
Three ways to work with us.
Whether you want ongoing patient relationships, flexible shift work, or to consult from home, there's a role for you.
Ongoing care
Home visits
Telehealth
More time with fewer patients. Better care.
A weekday, daytime role. Lead GP for a list of housebound patients – a mix of home visits and telehealth, supported by a doctor's assistant, nurse, geriatrician and telehealth GP team.
Secure earnings from day one.
Take home $300–325/hr, with equipment and medications covered. And while you fill your books, the $250/hr minimum guarantee carries you through your first 3 months.
- $250/hr minimum guarantee for the first 3 months – financial security whilst you fill your books.
- $300–325/hr take-home — or around $330/hr without the assistant cost included.
- Beat clinic earnings with far fewer consults
Work with an assistant.
You can choose to work with a GP assistant. They drive your car, set up, get obs, and handle the admin between visits. You focus on the consultation.
- Driving and navigating between home visits – you arrive ready.
- Vitals, set-up, equipment handled during visits.
- Admin between consults so the day flows smoothly.
Fewer patients. More time.
Be the lead GP for a list of housebound patients — a mix of home visits and telehealth, where the consult count is much lower than a clinic. You actually get the time to know and treat patients properly.
- More time with fewer patients — fewer daily consults than a clinic, and you'll fill your books quickly.
- Truly impactful care for housebound patients who can't otherwise get to a GP.
- Continuity over churn — they're your patients, not a stranger every shift.
A full kit. On the road, day one.
Get on the road quickly and easily, at no cost to you. We supply the full medical kit and the medications you'll need on visits.
- Full medical kit provided — diagnostic, observation and consumables.
- Medications stocked for home visits — the common needs, available on the day.
- No upfront cost to you — we provide everything you need.
We'll walk you in the door.
Full onboarding session before hitting the road, with someone accompanying you on your first shifts to orientate you.
- Full onboarding session before your first visit — get familiar with the software and processes.
- Someone accompanies you on your first shifts to orientate you.
- Practice management support is just a phone call away.
You're never working solo.
A full clinical team backs every Regular Care GP — a geriatrician on the phone, a practice nurse in the background, and locum & telehealth GPs ready to cover your patients when you're off.
- Geriatrician at the end of the phone for complex older-adult cases, and available for Comprehensive Geraitric Assessments over telehealth.
- Practice nurse does the heavy lifting for annual health assessments and care plans.
- Locum & telehealth GPs cover your patients when you're not working — so you can disconnect and rest assured things are taken care of.
- Regular team meetings to share cases, stay connected, and help us keep improving the service for you and your patients.
- Work alongside home-care providers — carers, nursing services, allied health and other community supports already in the patient's home.
The full workup, in the patient's home.
We work with mobile pathology and imaging providers so your patients never have to leave home.
- Home pathology collection — bloods, urine and swabs taken in the home and couriered to the lab.
- X-ray & ultrasound at home — mobile radiography provides bedside imagine for patients who can't get to a radiology clinic.
- ECGs and Holter monitoring at home — cardiology workup without leaving the house.
Pick up shifts that fit your week.
Deliver GP care in patients' homes, daytime and after hours. You'll see new patients, provide urgent care, and attend to our long-term patients for issues that can't wait for their Regular GP.
Best suited to GPs who prefer
- Flexible shifts you can pick up at short notice
- A higher proportion of urgent, one-off care
- More patients per shift than Regular Care suits GPs who like a faster pace.
GP work, from your kitchen table.
Cover patients from your home with video and phone consults, mixing urgent care and support for our long-term patients when their Regular GP isn't available. Perfect if you have family or caring commitments, you're returning from leave, winding down, or want to complement existing clinic work.
Benefits of telehealth at Perth Home GP vs. other telehealth services
- Work in a full GP practice, not a telehealth-only provider.
- High patient demand from new and returning patients, including urgent care and our long-term patients.
- The backing of a home visit team who can follow up in person if required.
- Access to Medicare rebates including longer telehealth consultation items.

You're never working solo.
Every GP at Perth Home GP works as part of a team — a geriatrician on the phone, a practice nurse, and locum & telehealth GPs ready to cover.
Six reasons our GPs stay.
We're a GP-run practice. So we've built the kind of role we'd want to work in.
Match or surpass private clinic earnings.
Take home $300–325/hr for Regular Care, $200–250/hr for Locum Home Visits, and $180–240/hr for Telehealth — while consulting significantly less than in a clinic.
Flexible work to suit your lifestyle.
In-hours and after-hours home visit and telehealth shifts available. Build the week that fits around your life — school runs, study, second jobs.
Mix up your week with fulfilling work.
Many of our GPs mix one of our roles with clinic work to introduce diversity into their day-to-day practice. The same skills, a different setting.
A rewarding role.
Caring for patients in need — keeping vulnerable patients living healthy at home for longer is very satisfying. See what our patients say →
Choose to work with an assistant.
Work with or without an assistant. Assistants drive you between consultations and provide admin support.
