GP home visits in Perth: flexible side income today, first-mover practice as C.A.L.L.S grows

No GP has joined C.A.L.L.S in Perth yet, or anywhere else in Australia. This is an invitation for a Perth GP to start with flexible side income around the work they already do, and be first to build it into a full practice as the platform grows.

Why Perth and WA need a bulk-billing alternative right now

The clearest WA-specific evidence comes from a UWA Medical School study that placed GPs inside four Perth-area hospital emergency departments to independently assess patients who were ultimately discharged home. The GPs judged that 54% of those patients could have been managed in general practice alone, rising to 80% with basic additional resources such as onsite imaging. Extrapolated across the system, the researchers estimated this amounts to roughly 400,000 WA patients a year who could be seen by a GP instead of presenting to hospital (UWA). That is a WA-specific picture of exactly the kind of demand a home-visit GP service is built to meet.

That local signal lines up with the national picture. The bulk billing rate was 84.1% in the June 2026 quarter, down from 88.9% in 2020-21, and a Cleanbill clinic survey found only 20.7% of clinics nationally bulk bill new adult patients, with an average national gap of $43.38 (The Senior). More than 1.5 million Australians now delay or avoid seeing a GP due to cost, up from around 600,000 in 2022 (AAP, citing ABS data).

A side income that fits around the work you already do

You keep your clinic, locum or hospital role and layer home visits on top, choosing your own Perth suburb zones and your own hours (how it works). There is no quota, no room rental to clear before you earn a dollar, and no commission - you keep 100% of the fee you set, paying only a flat monthly membership (pricing). Scale your availability up or down as your other commitments change.

The underlying workforce pressure is well documented. The RACGP's Health of the Nation reporting found over 70% of GPs report burnout, and almost a third intend to cut back or quit within five years, while only 13.1% of medical graduates now choose general practice as a career (RACGP). A side income you fully control is a different proposition to another fixed shift.

Be the first C.A.L.L.S GP in Perth

Nobody has claimed Perth yet. Deloitte projects a national 11,392 FTE GP shortfall by 2032, 27.9% of the workforce (RACGP), and the AMA estimates close to $4 billion has been stripped from general practice by the Medicare rebate freeze (AMA). A GP who joins first in Perth is defining the service for the whole city, and as the WA demand already documented in the UWA research turns into bookings, that side income has room to grow into a full home-visit practice.
