bleh, thats up to the GP. Whether they want to work really long hours, whether they'll work on weekends. Whether they have a high client base. Whether their practise is in an area with lots of customers.
Wasn't it put up officially somewhere that the AVERAGE family doctor earns about 86k a year?
i would have thought most in sydney areas would earn about 100-150 ish

EDIT- after tax, paying off secretary,bills etc
