The anaesthetics consultant job market in Australia

Anaesthetists' highly specialist skills are in demand across Australia. With surgical procedures on the rise, the need for anaesthetists across private and public hospitals is also rising.

The median anaesthetic doctor salary in Australia in 2025 is between AUD$250,000 - $600,000 per annum, with some anaesthesiologists earning over AUD$600,000 per year. Locum anaesthetics consultants are earning up to AUD$3,000 a day.

However, it is important to note that both these salary scales depend on various factors, such as years of experience, geographical location, and the type of healthcare facility you work in.
