An Australian telehealth clinic
Telehealth clinic for Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA
What a telehealth consultation from Kalgoorlie-Boulder involves: the WA rules, your Primary Health Network, local hours and what to have ready.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder by telehealth
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is the centre of the Eastern Goldfields, at the end of the water pipeline that runs from Mundaring. The ABS estimates the population of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder urban area at 31,016 at 30 June 2025, about 2 per cent more than in 2021. LeafLine Clinic consults with patients in Kalgoorlie-Boulder by secure video or telephone, so seeing an AHPRA-registered Clinician does not involve a trip anywhere.
By road, Kalgoorlie-Boulder is about 590 kilometres from Perth, roughly 7 hours of driving each way. An in-person appointment in Perth would usually mean staying overnight.
Western Australian rules that apply in Kalgoorlie-Boulder
WA Health is explicit that federal approvals are “not transferable to another prescriber”, and it adds a state approval of its own where a patient has a recent history of drug dependence or a substance use disorder, a history of psychosis or another psychiatric condition alongside the reason for treatment, or a dose above the Department’s ceiling. Your Clinician tells you at the consultation whether any of these applies.
WA Health says prescribers should check ScriptCheckWA, the state’s real-time prescription monitoring system, before prescribing, and asks for the result in any Department application.
The federal side is the same everywhere. Our guide to getting a prescription through SAS-B explains the TGA approval, and if you are moving from another clinic, the Western Australia changing-clinics page covers what transfers and what does not.
Your consultation, taken in Kalgoorlie-Boulder
-
Check your eligibility
The eligibility questionnaire is confidential and comes before any booking or payment. LeafLine Clinic consults with adults only, aged 18 and over.
-
Book video or telephone
Video works on a phone, tablet or computer. Where the connection is unreliable, a telephone consultation needs nothing more than reception, which makes it a workable option anywhere around Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Support and bookings run 7am to 5pm local time.
-
What to have ready
Have a list of your current medications and doses, any recent letters, results or discharge summaries, your Medicare card if you have one, and your home address, which goes on any prescription. Take the call somewhere private: a parked car works, an open-plan office does not.
-
After the consultation
If your Clinician decides a treatment is appropriate, they apply for the approvals it needs in their own name: the TGA's Special Access Scheme Category B approval where the medicine is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, plus any WA approval described above. Nothing is prescribed until those are granted. Reviews afterwards run by video or telephone in the same way.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Primary Health Network
Kalgoorlie-Boulder falls within Country WA PHN (WA Primary Health Alliance). Primary Health Networks are independent organisations funded by the Australian Government to plan and commission primary health care in their regions. They do not hold consultations themselves, and LeafLine Clinic is not part of, funded by or endorsed by any of them.
A PHN's website is a sensible place to look for the GPs, pharmacies and community services in your area, which matter alongside any telehealth care.
