  1. Anthony, while I note the original article was posted in October 2021 it seems to indicate it was updated May 2025 so I will take a chance and ask my question. Given the source of the data I am assuming this is income paid to the individual and declared in the individual’s taxable income. I am assuming the data doesn’t include income paid into trusts and companies and other structures. Is this correct? If correct, do you have any information on the use of these structures particularly for doctors in private practice?

    1. Hi Warrick It’s based on 2018/2019 data. The ATO does have slightly updated data (2021 I think.) I havent had a chance to write it up but it essentially shows a similar picture. It’s based on income declared to the ATO. I’m sorry, providing financial advice about company structures is not something I feel qualified to write on.

  2. I am not sure the numbers for pathologists are correct and I suspect non-medical pathologists have got mixed up in the number. There is a massive shortage of pathologists in Australia and salaries are competitive. I have seen between 250000 to 560000 aud being suggested with an average of around 400000 aud. My own experience and job offers agree with this.

    1. These are accurate ATO figures. Bear in mind they reflect an average of what all pathologists earn. Including those working part-time. I agree if you are willing to work full time you will do better. As you will for every one of the specialties.

  3. This is a Magnificent article! I wonder why dermatologists are not included in your report! I’m sure they do a lot of proceudures in addition to cosmetic procedure? Are they considered part of the highest paying doctor jobs in Australia?

  4. Thanks for the wonderful Channel and Post Dr. Anthony. Is the stated Surgeons Salary (394,303 AUD) including what he can gets from MediCare Billing. As an IMG Orthopaedic or Spine Surgeons, how much Salary I can get as a consultant in a Hospital (keeping in mind my 10-Year Medicare Billig Restriction as an IMG) .

    1. Hello Mohamed the figure quoted is for all sources of income (revenue). It would certainly include more than Medicare billings as most surgeons in private charge a gap. You will see at the bottom of the post I give you an indication of typical public hospital salaries.
