They are among the lowest-paid specialists, according to a survey of Australian doctors
New income figures show that endocrinologists are among the lowest-earning specialists, earning $119 an hour in 2017.
The figures taken from the MABEL — the longitudinal survey of more than 4000 doctors across Australia — found that endocrinologists earned just $18 an hour more than GPs (see table below).
Across all specialties, the top earners were radiologists, whose median hourly income after tax but before practice costs was $261.
For endocrinologists in the 25th percentile, hourly earnings were $75, while those in the 75th percentile were paid $178 an hour.
