George & Matilda Eyecare Kalgoorlie is looking for an experienced optometrist ready to trade volume-driven suburban practice for something with more clinical weight — and more life outside the consulting room.

This is full-scope optometry in a regional hub with a loyal, established patient base.

Complex presentations.

Continuity of care.

Real clinical ownership.

The opportunity:

Kalgoorlie isn't a stepping stone.

For the right clinician, it's where a career takes shape.

You'll be the primary eye health gatekeeper for a significant regional population, managing ocular disease, not triaging it.

Protected patient-practitioner time means you work with clinical intention rather than against a conveyor belt.

And because your patients return, your decisions matter in ways they don't in high-turnover metro practices.

The practice is supported by George & Matilda's national Professional Services team, including direct access to an experienced optometrist mentor through our regional PSM network – so you're clinically supported without being clinically supervised.

The practice:

A well-established patient base with strong community trust.

Equipment that enables confident diagnosis and decision-making:

- - Corneal topography
- - Axial biometry
- - iCare tonometry

Who we're looking for:

An optometrist with 3+ years' experience who is ready to own their clinical space. You should be comfortable making independent decisions, building genuine patient relationships, and communicating clearly — both to patients and, where required, to referring colleagues.

You understand that excellent clinical care and a well-run practice are not in conflict. You don't need to choose between them.

What's on offer:





Base salary from $130,000, commensurate with experience.

- Monthly performance bonus
- CPD allowance, AHPRA fees, and professional association membership covered
- Ongoing clinical mentoring through G&M;'s national Professional Services network
- Product allowance, and family benefits
- Career development within a clinically led national organisation
- The independence of local practice, backed by a reliable support structure

Living in Kalgoorlie:

Kalgoorlie is unlike anywhere else in Australia. It has its own history, its own identity, and a community that knows its healthcare professionals by name.

The financial case is straightforward: a base salary of $170,000 in a city where a four-bedroom house costs less than a Sydney deposit goes further than the same number anywhere on the eastern seaboard.

Beyond the numbers: a genuine work-life balance, not a marketing promise. Regular direct flights to Perth.

Affordable housing in a city with real character.

And patients who trust their clinician because they've chosen them, not just because they happened to be nearby.

For clinicians who want to build something — a patient base, a reputation, a life — regional practice offers a path that metro practice rarely does.
