GP salaries and tax in Australia

GP salary

In Australia, General Practice as a profession pays well.  The annual income that a GP can expect to earn ranges between AUD $150,000-$350,000 per annum. This number can increase depending on the number of extra hours or after hours work performed. Other factors that can have an impact on your wage are: area of practice, type of work undertaken, private vs. bulk billing, hospital work and whether you are a practice owner, employee or contractor.

Dr Jane Geary
Thanks for all your help Jenny! It’s been quite luxurious having you doing the job hunting for me. I’ve never felt so ‘in demand’ before. You’ve come with loads of interesting job offers and set up the interviews with no messing about.

Even though I am an Aussie trained doctor, having been overseas for over ten years I felt out of touch with the Australian job market and what to expect from it. Has been great having an insider help me back in. Thanks and look forward to meeting you in the future. Best wishes, Dr Jane Geary.
