Standalone GP Afterhours 

GP Afterhours Armadale is a standaline Afterhours clinic dedicated to already supporting clients during unsociable afterhours period.  The clinic runs on sole GP and thus we have unfortunately demeed unfeasible to conduct home visits as it poses a greater risk to our larger patient base should our GP be injured or become unwell due to a home visit service. 

Please note that if it is an emergency, call an ambulance or go straight to the emergency department of your nearest hospital.
