Convenient Telehealth Appointment in Perth
In Perth, finding a GP for a timely medical consultation can be a challenge. Long waiting times and the hassle of travelling to a medical centre often discourage patients. This is particularly tough during public holidays or outside standard working hours. But there’s a solution that brings healthcare into the comfort of your home.
Instant Consult offers telehealth services that transform how Perth residents access medical services. With our online doctor consultations, you don’t need to leave your house or wait in long queues.
Our experienced doctors are available for video call consultations from 6 AM to 12 midnight AEST every day, including public holidays. This means you can book a telehealth appointment at a time that suits you without having to adjust your schedule around traditional medical centre hours.
More than being convenient, our telehealth services are also comprehensive. Whether you need a repeat prescription, medical certificate, referral to a specialist, or advice on a range of medical conditions, our highly qualified doctors are ready to assist.
The best part? Our consultations are bulk-billed for patients 12 months and under with a valid Medicare card. But if you need to pay out of your own pocket, we also offer competitive pricing, making healthcare accessible without the hefty price tag.
So, if you’re in Perth and seeking a hassle-free way to consult with a reputable and highly qualified doctor, Instant Consult is the way to go.

When to Opt for Emergency Services over Telehealth Consultation
While online GP consultations bring healthcare to your doorstep, they do have their limitations. There are circumstances where the emergency department can help you better than an online doctor, such as:
- Severe Chest Pain: If you or someone you’re with experiences severe chest pain, it could be a sign of a heart attack. Immediate medical attention is necessary.
- Difficulty Breathing: Any sudden difficulty in breathing warrants a visit to the emergency department. It could indicate severe conditions like asthma attacks or pulmonary embolism.
- Uncontrolled Bleeding: If bleeding doesn’t stop after applying pressure for 10 minutes, it’s time to seek emergency care.
- Severe Burns or Electrical Shocks: For burns that cover a large area or are caused by chemicals and electrical shocks, immediate in-person treatment is crucial.
- Major Injuries: Injuries resulting from accidents, falls, or severe head trauma require emergency medical services.
- Signs of Stroke: Symptoms like sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, seeing, or walking are red flags for a stroke. You need to rush to the emergency department immediately.
