\"\"<\/a>More than 80% of Australian doctors are moderately or very satisfied with their jobs, a national survey has found.<\/p>

<\/div>
The survey, of 10?498 doctors, 19% of those who were contacted and eligible, found that 86% were moderately or very satisfied with their jobs, with no significant differences between GPs, specialists, and specialists in training. Hospital non-specialists were less satisfied.
The predictors of high professional satisfaction included:<\/div>
- a good support network<\/div>
- a household with a high income<\/div>
- patients with realistic expectations w
- being able to take time off<\/div>
- being younger or close to retirement<\/div>
- having good self reported health.<\/div>
Female GPs earn an average 25% less than their male counterparts and that GPs on average earn 32% less than specialists. The average annual pretax personal earnings of GPs and specialists were $US 180?000 and $US 316?570, respectively.<\/div>
<\/div>
With Australia in the throes of national health reform, the researchers said that their findings set an important baseline for examining the effects of policy changes on doctors’ job satisfaction.<\/div>
<\/div>
The survey was conducted between June and November 2008, before the Australian government announced its national health reform agenda.<\/div>
The survey findings were published in the 3 January edition of the Medical Journal of Australia<\/a>.<\/div>
