What Is Happening
One of Australia’s largest employers of British GPs is coming to London and Dublin to meet you face to face, with the meetings arranged by Alecto Australia. This employer is one of Alecto Australia’s largest clients and one of Australia’s most established primary care organisations. At your meeting, you will speak directly with senior representatives, not a recruiter relaying secondhand information. It is a direct conversation with the people who would actually be hiring you.
About the Employer
This employer operates:
- A national network of 120+ modern, multidisciplinary centres with strong patient demand and full onsite support, so GPs can focus on clinical work
- A growing urgent care network of 20+ clinics, offering exposure to acute presentations in a structured, well supported environment, without the pressures of a hospital emergency department
GPs are encouraged to develop special interests in areas including skin cancer medicine, women’s health and occupational medicine.
Where the Roles Are
This employer has current GP vacancies in Distribution Priority Areas (DPA) close to every major Australian city, including Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast. Browse current GP jobs in Australia.
Who Is Eligible
GPs eligible to work with this employer in Australia hold either:
- MRCGP CCT (Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners with Certificate of Completion of Training)
- MICGP (Membership of the Irish College of General Practitioners)
GPs who expect to receive CCT or MICGP within the next four months are also welcome to book.
The process of relocating to Australia typically takes 7 to 8 months, and securing a 482 visa, which provides full working rights for partners, is very straightforward.

Australia isn’t a hard sell. Once GPs see the numbers and the lifestyle side by side with the NHS and the HSE, the decision tends to make itself. For a full overview, read our guide to moving to Australia as a UK doctor.
✔ Earn More for the Work You Already Do
Australian GPs commonly out earn their NHS counterparts by a wide margin, largely because billings per consultation are simply higher. See the 2025 Australian GP Salary Survey for current figures.

- Women’s health
- Skin cancer medicine
