Highest paying cities for GPs in Victoria
In Victoria, the highest-paying cities for GPs are typically the larger metropolitan areas, where the demand for healthcare services is higher. These cities include:
Melbourne – As the state capital, Melbourne offers the most lucrative opportunities for GPs due to its large population, high demand for healthcare, and the variety of private and public practices available.
Geelong – As Victoria’s second-largest city, Geelong has a growing population and offers competitive salaries for GPs, especially with its expanding healthcare sector.
Bendigo – While slightly smaller, Bendigo has a significant demand for healthcare professionals, offering GPs opportunities to earn higher incomes due to patient needs in both urban and surrounding regional areas.
Ballarat – Like Bendigo, Ballarat benefits from a growing population and a rising demand for healthcare services, leading to attractive pay for GPs.
Though these cities tend to offer higher-paying opportunities, GPs in regional or rural areas might also benefit from additional incentives, such as higher rebates or retention bonuses, aimed at encouraging medical professionals to work outside urban centers.
