moreFrequently Asked Questions
If you’re considering applying for one of our GP jobs in Victoria, here are some common questions:
How much does a Full-Time GP make in Victoria?
A full-time General Practitioner (GP) in Victoria can expect to earn between AUD $200,000 to $350,000 per year, depending on various factors like location, experience, the type of practice, and whether the GP works in urban or rural areas.
GPs working in private practices, particularly those with an established patient base, generally earn more than those working in public health settings. The salary structure may involve a base salary plus performance-based incentives, such as income generated from patient consultations.
GPs in public health services, such as hospitals or community clinics, typically earn a fixed salary, which may be slightly lower than in private practices, but they often enjoy more predictable hours and benefits like paid leave and professional development support.
GPs working in rural or remote locations, such as areas in Western Victoria or North-Eastern Victoria, may receive additional rural allowances, relocation packages, and accommodation support. These additional incentives can significantly boost a GP’s total income, often exceeding AUD $350,000 in certain circumstances.

Highest paying cities for GPs in Victoria
Melbourne, as the capital city of Victoria, offers the highest salaries for GPs in the state. Full-time GPs can expect to earn between AUD $200,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on factors like experience, specialization, and location within the city. High-demand areas or suburbs in Melbourne, such as the Eastern Suburbs or Inner Melbourne, may offer higher pay, but the cost of living is also higher in these areas.
Geelong, Victoria’s second-largest city, offers competitive salaries for GPs, typically ranging from AUD $220,000 to $300,000. Geelong is a growing regional city with a mix of urban and rural practices, and GPs in this area can earn higher wages, especially in high-demand areas. The city also offers a more affordable cost of living compared to Melbourne.
Other cities include Bendigo, and Ballarat. Regional and rural areas like Mildura and Wodonga offer additional financial incentives that can boost GP salaries, making them attractive options for those willing to work in less urbanized areas.
