Home Doctor Gold Coast

You will be asked to provide the patient's name, date of birth, address, phone number, Medicare or Veterans Affairs card, and a description of the patient's condition.

Doctor home visits can be arranged with our receptionist by telephoning (07) 5532 8666.

Whether you are a Gold Coast tourist or resident, our After Hours Doctors are ready to help you with any urgent medical needs over the weekend and after hours during weekdays.

House call doctors are available after hours from 6pm to 8am (overnight) Monday to Friday and 24 hours on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.

Because of the driving time between visits, there may be a waiting time of up to 3 hours depending on the urgency of the call.

Urgent Medical Needs

Unfortunately our doctors are not able to provide you with an at home visit unless the situation is medically urgent. Please note that if it is an emergency, call an ambulance or go straight to the emergency department of your nearest hospital. 

Our doctor home visit services are dependant on availability and for any non-urgent medical needs, you are encouraged to attend one of our after hours clinics, either in Southport or Palm Beach.

Please advise at time of booking if you:

  • Are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, feeling lethargic, shortness of breath
  • Have received a confirmed Coronavirus result
  • Have been overseas or in contact with someone who has been overseas within the last 14 days
  • Have been directed to isolate
  • Are awaiting a Coronavirus result

Bulk Billed Home Visit Doctors

House calls by our doctors are bulk billed, provided the patient can supply a current Medicare or Veterans Affairs card.

If you do not have a current Medicare or Veterans Affairs Card, fees are applicable. All fees must be settled with the doctor at the time of the visit.

Home Visit Consultations

When a patient is seen on behalf of a local participating General Practitioner, a copy of the treating doctor's clinical notes is sent by secure electronic transfer or by courier the next working day to your GP.

Patients are generally advised to return to their usual doctor for follow-up of the presenting problem.

Not all patients will qualify for a home visit. Our service availability is subject to careful triage and evaluation as regulated by the Department of Health and in line with our AMDS Guideline.

If we are unable to supply home visits to patients, patients are encouraged to attend the After Hours Clinics (located at Southport and Palm Beach) or their local Hospital.
