About the Job

🩺 General Practitioner – Launceston, Tasmania

Supportive, Family-Friendly Practice | Excellent Earnings | Coastal Lifestyle

Are you looking for a fresh start in a stunning part of Australia, where you’ll be genuinely valued and supported — both professionally and personally?

We’re working with a friendly, GP-owned practice in Launceston, Tasmania, that’s looking for a passionate doctor to join their small, tight-knit team. Whether you’re moving on your own or with family, this is a chance to enjoy a slower pace, a better work-life balance, and a true sense of community — all while earning an excellent income.


💼 The Opportunity

  • 70% of billings

  • Initial accommodation provided while you settle in

  • Relocation support to make your move as smooth as possible

  • Monday to Friday only – no weekends or late nights

  • Earn $100/hr initially, with potential to exceed $300K+ annually

You’ll be joining a well-established 3-GP practice located just 7km from Launceston city centre. The clinic is mixed billing, with a strong emphasis on continuity of care and chronic disease management. You'll see a varied patient mix – from young families and professionals to elderly patients – and you’ll be supported by a brilliant team of nurses, admin, and an experienced Practice Manager who will meet you at the airport and help you get settled in.

The clinic is fully equipped, with four consulting rooms, two treatment rooms, and a clear focus on quality over quantity. You’ll be encouraged to attend CPD events, and ongoing support is provided to ensure you reach your full billing potential.


🌿 Why Launceston?

Launceston offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, lifestyle, and opportunity. With a population of around 100,000, it’s large enough to offer everything you need — yet small enough to feel connected and calm.

  • Beautiful four-season climate (sunny summers, mild winters)

  • Top-quality private and public schools (including Launceston Church Grammar, one of Australia’s top-rated schools)

  • Close-knit community feel with thriving cafés, arts, and culture

  • Excellent healthcare and hospital facilities

  • Just a 1-hour flight from Melbourne, with direct access to other major cities

Tasmania is also officially the safest state in Australia – a perfect place to raise a family or simply enjoy peace of mind and balance.
