Online doctor across Western Australia
Telehealth medical certificates and prescriptions for WA residents. Perth to Broome, Bunbury to Karratha - the same AHPRA-registered doctor, wherever you are in the state.
Healthcare access in Western Australia
Western Australians can submit suitable requests from Perth, Bunbury, Broome, Karratha and other WA communities. Local GPs remain important for examinations and ongoing care; telehealth can avoid travel for requests that can be assessed remotely.
Perth uses AWST throughout the year, two hours behind Sydney in AEST and three hours behind Sydney in AEDT. InstantMed accepts and reviews requests 24/7, with variable review timing.
Workers planning around FIFO rotations can submit a medical-certificate or eligible repeat-prescription request online. Fitness-for-duty assessments and site-specific medical clearances require an appropriate in-person service.

WA specifics
What to know about using telehealth for work, study, and everyday healthcare in Western Australia.
WA time zone & service hours
Perth runs on Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), 2 hours behind Brisbane; 2 or 3 hours behind Sydney and Melbourne depending on daylight saving. The service operates 24/7, so time zone never blocks the form or the review.
WA mining & resources sector
WA's mining sector (iron ore, gold, lithium, LNG) employs a large FIFO workforce based out of Perth. Telehealth is widely used by these workers for repeat scripts between rotations and for med certs covering acute illness on residential rest weeks. We can't issue fitness-to-work clearances or site-specific fit-for-duty medical assessments - those require in-person examination.
Regional WA access pressure
Residents of the Pilbara, Kimberley, Mid West and Goldfields can submit eligible requests online. Local clinics and community health services remain essential for examinations and ongoing care.
WA telehealth FAQs
Does InstantMed work in remote WA - Broome, Karratha, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton?
Yes. Every WA postcode has access with no geographic restrictions. For residents of the Kimberley, Pilbara, Mid West, and Goldfields, telehealth is often the most practical way to access an AHPRA-registered doctor for straightforward needs.
Is there a WA-specific pharmacy network?
eScripts are federally regulated and valid at any Australian pharmacy. In WA, Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, TerryWhite, and the WA Country Health Service pharmacies all accept eScripts from telehealth doctors. You'll receive an SMS token that any pharmacist can scan.
Can I use the service during the WA time difference from the east?
Yes. Every pathway can be submitted 24/7, and reviews also run around the clock - the WA time difference never matters.
