Why Thousands of UK and Irish GPs Have Already Made the Move
Australia isn’t a hard sell. Once GPs see the numbers and the lifestyle side by side with the NHS, the decision tends to make itself.
✔ 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.
