How gynaecology/obstetricians can increase their income

A career in O&G is challenging and rewarding. It offers a wide range of job opportunities across Australia; in hospitals, clinics, public and private health settings.

Where you work and the nature of the work you undertake can have an impact on how much you earn.
Locuming is a great option to increase your income, either alongside a permanent position, or full-time locuming

Undertaking subspecialist training will increase your income. If you are a Fellow of RANZCOG, you can train to work exclusively in Gynaecological Oncology, Urogynaecology, Reproductive medicine, Maternal and Fetal medicine, or Obstetrical & Gynaecological Ultrasound
