Melbourne is a vibrant, diverse city with a wide range of healthcare opportunities for GPs.

Some of the best areas to consider include:

  • Inner suburbs: Areas like Richmond, Carlton, Fitzroy, and South Melbourne are popular locations for GP practices. These suburbs are close to hospitals, medical centres, and other healthcare services, providing GPs with a steady patient base.
  • Outer suburbs: Growing suburbs such as Cranbourne, Werribee, and Sunbury have high demand for GPs due to expanding populations and the need for more healthcare services.
  • Specialist clinics: GPs with specialised skills may find rewarding roles in clinics focusing on areas like skin health, women’s health, or mental health, where demand for expertise is strong.

Opportunities can vary depending on your experience, qualifications, and preferred location. Partnering with a trusted medical recruitment agency like DXC Medical ensures you find GP jobs in Melbourne that align with your skills, career goals, and lifestyle preferences.

Living in Melbourne means access to a world-class city lifestyle, while still offering diverse housing options ranging from inner-city apartments to family-friendly suburbs and semi-rural escapes.

  • Global reputation as a sporting capital, hosting events like the AFL Grand Final, Australian Open tennis, and Formula 1 Grand Prix.
  • A thriving arts, theatre, and live music scene, including festivals like Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Melbourne Fringe.
  • Four distinct seasons: warm summers, crisp winters, colourful autumns, and vibrant springs.
  • Excellent public transport, including an extensive tram and train network, making commuting across the city manageable.

Melbourne is home to some of Australia’s leading hospitals, including The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Alfred Health, Austin Health, and the Royal Children’s Hospital. In addition, a wide network of GP clinics, community health centres, and multidisciplinary superclinics cater to its growing population.

The city is also a major centre for medical education and research, with globally recognised institutions such as the University of Melbourne and Monash University offering outstanding programs in medicine, nursing, and allied health. Melbourne’s school system is highly regarded, offering a mix of public, private, and international schooling, making it ideal for families relocating from interstate or overseas.
