If you’re considering applying for one of our GP jobs in New South Wales, here are some common questions:
How much does a Full-Time GP make in New South Wales?
Salaries can vary depending on whether you work in major cities like Sydney or Newcastle, or in regional and rural areas. GPs in metropolitan areas often earn higher salaries but may face higher living costs. Rural and regional GPs can earn more due to additional rural incentives and allowances, especially if working in remote areas with fewer healthcare professionals.
The salary for a full-time GP in New South Wales can vary widely, but generally falls between AUD $200,000 and $350,000, with higher earning potential in private practice and rural areas. Salaries in Sydney tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum, while GPs in regional or rural NSW may earn additional benefits that increase their overall compensation.
