There is very little robust information on doctor earnings and how the various specialties compare – despite the importance of the issue.

That is why we created the new AusDoc Specialist Earnings Comparison Calculator.

How does it work? In the absence of better data sources, we have updated the earning figures given to Australian Doctor from the MABEL longitudinal survey.

The figures were collected in 2018 but unlike the current ATO numbers they were based on specialists’ hourly earnings which can take into account part-time and full-time doctors.
