The General Medicine market in Australia

The demand for General Medicine doctors in Australia remains high in 2025, driven by an ageing population, increasing rates of chronic disease, and continued investment in hospital infrastructure. This demand extends across metropolitan, regional, and rural areas—and includes not only consultants but also registrars, who play a critical role in supporting acute and complex care.

General Medicine registrars are sought after for both public and private hospital positions, with many facilities offering attractive relocation packages, study support, and access to advanced training opportunities.

Consultant-level Physicians typically earn between AUD $200,000 and $550,000 annually, with significant variation depending on seniority, location, and sub-specialty. Locum physicians remain in high demand, especially in regional and remote areas, with daily rates reaching up to AUD $3,000.

Sub-specialisation has a strong influence on earning potential. Physicians working in cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, and respiratory medicine often command higher salaries due to the complexity and demand within these fields. For example, senior cardiologists or gastroenterologists in high-demand areas may earn upwards of AUD $600,000, especially in private practice or dual-sector roles.
