What does an after hours GP in Scarborough do?
Our doctors provide home visit care to patients in the Scarborough region during the after hours period when most GPs are not available. They are able to review a large number of medical problems and in most cases can prevent patients from having to attend the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital or the Childrens Hospital Emergency Departments. Before attending your home for a consultation, our doctor will give you a call to discuss your condition and offer initial treatment advice. This is a valuable additional service that are doctors provide for free and goes a long way to reducing anxiety of patients, parents and carers. Our doctors carry a large selection of medications to get your treatment started so you don’t need to worry about heading to a late night pharmacy. After your visit, your doctor will send a copy of your consultation notes to your regular GP so they can take over your care.

Telehealth rates
The fee for telehealth depends on the length of the consultation and the start time of the consultation.
Consultation starting before 11pm:
| Length of consultation |
Consultation fee
(Medicare rebate**) |
Gap | Total fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than 5 mins | $19.60 | $49.00 | $68.60 |
| 6–19 mins | $42.85 | $49.00 | $91.85 |
| 20–39 mins | $82.90 | $49.00 | $131.90 |
| 40 minutes or more | $122.15 | $49.00 | $171.15 |
**Some patients will be eligible to claim Medicare rebates for Telehealth performed by Night Doctor. Please see this FAQ for more information.
Consultation starting after 11pm:
Urgent conditions
After 11pm there is a Medicare rebate for all patients with urgent conditions. In order to access this rebate Medicare requires the Doctor to justify that you have an urgent condition (i.e. your condition is at risk of deteriorating before 8am the next morning). The consultation must take place over a video call rather than a standard phone call.
The rebate is significantly higher than for the standard rebates. So while the total fee you pay is higher your rebate is also higher by the same amount and the out of pocket gap amount is unchanged.
Urgent Telehealth video consult after 11pm: $223.30
Non-urgent conditions
If the Doctor cannot justify to Medicare that your condition is at risk of deterioration before 8am, they cannot charge the urgent item and the fees for consultations before 11pm will apply instead.
Determining what is urgent is difficult, as very little guidance is provided by Medicare. Our receptionists can run your issue past the doctor prior to your consultation and can let you know if you will be bulk billed or if a fee will apply.
We understand this situation is not ideal but we are trying to do the best we can to help patients and operate within Medicare billing guidelines.

Unfortunately we cannot bulk-bill DVA Gold cardholders as the cost of providing high-quality care after hours cannot be covered without charging a gap. Therefore we must bill the patient as Medicare with concession. The following fees apply.
