A: You choose your working hours. Flexible daytime hours – even school hours (e.g. 9am–3pm) mean it can suit working parents or GPs who want to balance lifestyle with traditional general practice work.
Q: How much can I earn?
A: Your earning potential depends on how many patients you see in a session/day, the technology on hand, and the support you receive. Typically the work is Bulk Billed, so GPs working in aged care should benefit from increased earnings with the upcoming Medicare Bulk Billing changes GPs effective November 2025, and you will receive between 65-70% of billings - depending on patients seen. Indicative GP earnings are: Minimum $1,600 Gross billings per session (20 patients), up to $4,000 Gross billings per day (50 patients). In addition to the above, GPs will also receive

A: Preferably, yes – but if you’re based elsewhere, talk to us about travel allowances to cover your time.
