Highest paying areas for GPs in Western Australia
The highest-paying areas for GPs in Western Australia are typically those in more remote or rural regions.
Kimberley Region (e.g., Broome, Kununurra): GPs working in this region, particularly in towns like Broome, can earn significantly more. These areas often offer additional bonuses, relocation assistance, and higher fees due to the challenges of working in more isolated locations.
Pilbara Region (e.g., Port Hedland, Karratha): This is another high-paying region due to the area’s remoteness and the demand for healthcare services in resource-heavy communities. GPs can earn competitive salaries, and the cost of living is balanced by higher pay and potential bonuses.
Great Southern Region (e.g., Albany, Esperance): While not as remote as the Kimberley or Pilbara, areas like Albany and Esperance still offer higher pay to attract and retain GPs in regional clinics.
