For Doctors

Your next move in general practice, made personal.

Whether you’re already practising in Australia or considering a move from overseas, Doctor Alliance Australia helps you explore GP opportunities that align with your career, your lifestyle and the way you want to practise medicine.

From metropolitan practices to coastal communities and regional locations, we take the time to understand what matters to you before discussing the right opportunities.

Every stage

Wherever you are in your GP career.

General practice careers don’t all follow the same path. We work with doctors at different stages of their careers and help them explore opportunities appropriate to their experience, registration, training and long-term goals.

Fellowed GPs

For FRACGP, FACRRM and other appropriately recognised specialist GPs exploring permanent, part-time, contractor or flexible opportunities across Australia.

Doctors Working Toward Fellowship

For doctors progressing toward Fellowship and considering their next practice, location or working environment. We will take your training stage, supervision requirements and individual circumstances into account when discussing suitable opportunities.

Part Time & Flexible GPs

For doctors looking for greater flexibility, additional hours or a different working arrangement alongside their existing commitments.

International & Overseas Trained GPs

For GPs considering practising in Australia and wanting to understand how registration, Medicare requirements, DPA status and practice location may affect the opportunities available to them.

Understanding where you can work

For some doctors, registration, training stage, Medicare eligibility or practice location can affect which opportunities are suitable. We consider these factors before approaching practices, so the opportunities we discuss with you make sense for your individual circumstances.

Australian trained & Fellowed GPs

Explore opportunities based on location, remuneration, flexibility, practice culture and your longer term career goals.

International & Overseas Trained GPs

Your pathway

Your stage of practice matters

Whether you are already Fellowed, working toward Fellowship or coming to Australia with an overseas specialist qualification, we will first understand your registration and training position before discussing practices.

Where supervision, accreditation or location requirements apply, we will take those into account when identifying suitable opportunities.

A confidential conversation

Already practising in Australia?

You don’t have to be actively job hunting to talk to us.

Maybe you’re happy where you are but curious about what else is available. You might want fewer days, different billing arrangements, a stronger patient base, a better team culture, more flexibility or a practice closer to home.

Perhaps you’re ready to move from metropolitan practice to the coast or a regional community, or you’re simply wondering whether there is a practice out there that suits you better.

Our conversations are confidential and there is no expectation that you need to make a move. Sometimes the first step is simply understanding your options.

International doctors

Considering general practice in Australia?

Moving your medical career to Australia is exciting, but the pathway isn’t identical for every doctor. Your medical degree, specialist GP qualification, country of training, experience and registration history can all affect which pathway applies to you.

Doctor Alliance works with overseas GPs to explore the employment side of the move, including suitable practices, locations, remuneration, working arrangements and lifestyle.

Formal registration eligibility is determined by Ahpra, the Medical Board of Australia and the relevant specialist college where applicable.
