Dual Role Optometrist

Leongatha Optometrists - Leongatha, VIC 
Four days per week

Build your clinical workload without having to build your working week from scratch.

Leongatha Optometrists is looking for an Optometrist to join its independent, two-room practice for four days per week.

This opportunity offers the security of consistent hours from the outset, initially combining approximately two days of consulting with two days supporting optical dispensing. You’ll also remain involved in dispensing for your own patients, providing continuity from the consulting room through to their eyewear selection.

As you establish your patient base and consulting demand grows, the balance of the role is expected to shift progressively towards more clinical optometry. This is not intended to remain a fixed 50/50 structure; it is an opportunity to build towards a broader consulting workload within an established practice.

Broad-scope optometry with room to develop

Leongatha Optometrists has cared for the local community and surrounding Gippsland region for more than 45 years.

The practice provides broad-scope primary eye care to patients across all ages, with particular clinical interests in:

• Dry eye disease and treatment
• General ocular disease diagnosis and management
• Ongoing eye-health management
• Soft contact lenses
• Rigid and more complex contact lens fitting, where clinically appropriate

You’ll have the scope to practise general optometry while developing your own areas of clinical interest.
The practice continues to invest in its clinical services and technology, with equipment including:

• Visual field testing
• Oculus corneal topography
• Wavefront autorefractors, including a handheld unit
• iCare tonometry
• Digital and manual phoropters
• Low-level light therapy and Blephasteam for dry eye management

A connected role within an experienced team

Alongside your consulting work, you’ll help patients translate their clinical recommendations into suitable lens and eyewear choices.

The practice is supported each day by the Optometrist/owner and Practice Manager, with an experienced Optical Dispenser also working four days per week. You’ll therefore have support around you while still being encouraged to contribute your ideas and develop professionally.

About you

You may be an experienced Optometrist looking for greater variety or a new graduate ready to commence during 2026.

You’ll bring:

• Eligibility for registration as an Optometrist in Australia
• An interest in broad-scope primary care optometry
• A willingness to contribute across both consulting and optical dispensing
• Clear, considered communication with patients and colleagues
• A genuine interest in building trusted, ongoing patient relationships

New graduates are encouraged to apply, provided they are available to begin in 2026.

For an Optometrist who values clinical variety but also enjoys being involved beyond the consulting room, this role offers somewhere meaningful to begin, and genuine scope to make more of the clinical work your own over time.

Graduate Optometrist – Gulf & Ranges Optometrists

Full-Time | Port Augusta, South Australia

Not every graduate role gives you genuine clinical exposure, structured mentoring, and a team that actually wants to help you grow.

At Gulf & Ranges Optometrists, you’ll step into a full-scope regional practice where learning is part of the culture, not an afterthought. Working alongside experienced Optometrists and visiting Ophthalmologists, this is an opportunity to build strong clinical foundations while being supported by a collaborative and down-to-earth team.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

• Work alongside visiting Ophthalmologists through the Port Augusta Hospital each month
• Join a supportive clinical team including senior Optometrists, early career clinicians and fellow graduates
• Structured fortnightly multi-practice CPD and ongoing mentoring
• Exposure to full-scope optometry, therapeutics, eye health management and co-management
• No weekends and closed between Christmas and New Year
• A genuinely supportive environment where questions, learning and development are encouraged

About the Role

This is a full-time graduate opportunity suited to someone who is excited to develop their clinical confidence in a supportive regional setting.

You’ll be working across a broad patient demographic with the opportunity to build skills in:

• General optometry and comprehensive eye examinations
• Eye health management and therapeutics
• Co-management with Ophthalmologists and other healthcare providers
• Building strong patient relationships and continuity of care
• Developing confidence in full-scope regional practice

Whether you’re a new graduate or approaching graduation, the team is focused on helping you transition confidently into practice.

About You

You’ll bring:

• A genuine passion for patient care and clinical development
• An eagerness to learn and build your confidence in full-scope optometry
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Interest in therapeutics and eye health management
• A positive, team-focused approach

Dispensing experience is welcomed but certainly not essential.

Why Port Augusta?

Port Augusta offers something many city roles can’t - variety, lifestyle and community. With the Flinders Ranges, Spencer Gulf and Eyre Peninsula on your doorstep, weekends can be spent bushwalking, camping, fishing, exploring or even swimming with cuttlefish.

It’s regional optometry with genuine clinical exposure, without sacrificing support or balance.

Optometrist (Full-Time or Part-Time)  

Campbelltown Eye Care

Campbelltown Eye Care is a long-established, family-owned independent practice that has cared for the local community for more than 40 years. With a September 2026 commencement, we're looking for an Optometrist who is available to join our team this year.

Our full-scope practice is equipped with Zeiss OCT, widefield imaging and Humphrey Visual Field, supporting diverse clinical work including ocular disease management, contact lenses and children's vision care. You'll have the clinical independence to provide thorough, patient-focused care while building lasting relationships with your patients.

While dispensing isn't part of the role, a sound understanding of lenses and eyewear is important because great patient outcomes don't end with the prescription.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering comprehensive eye examinations across a diverse patient base
• Managing ocular health, including glaucoma and macular conditions
• Providing tailored recommendations across both clinical and optical solutions
• Building strong, ongoing relationships with patients

What we’re looking for:

• An Optometrist who takes pride in thorough, patient-focused care
• Strong clinical judgement and attention to detail
• Confidence working independently within a supportive team
• Ability to communicate clearly and build trust with patients

What you’ll find here:

• A well-established, community-focused independent practice
• A stable and experienced team environment
• Advanced clinical equipment to support full-scope optometry
• Consult times that allow you to work thoughtfully, not reactively
• Flexibility across full-time or part-time arrangements

If you’re looking for a role where you can practice with autonomy, build meaningful patient relationships, and be part of a genuinely established practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a brief cover letter to [email protected]

Optometrist - Dual Clinical and Optical Role

Bridge Eye Care - Murray Bridge, SA - Full-time (New graduates welcome)

Looking for more variety than five days in the consulting room?

Established in the late 1940s, Bridge Eye Care is an independent practice with a longstanding connection to Murray Bridge and the surrounding region. Located approximately one hour from Adelaide, it offers the variety of regional optometry while keeping the city within easy reach.

Following a move into a larger, newly fitted practice, the team now has additional consulting rooms and the capacity to welcome another Optometrist.

Rather than spending five days in the consulting room, this dual role combines full-scope optometry with broader involvement across the patient journey. Your week will include:

• Approximately three days practising full-scope optometry
• Two days across dry eye management, diagnostic testing, pretesting and optical dispensing 

What the Role Offers

You’ll work with a broad range of patients and clinical presentations, with access to OCT, Optos, topography, meibography, visual fields and slit lamp photography.

You’ll also have:

• Time to develop meaningful patient relationships
• The opportunity to establish your own patient base
• Broader experience across clinical, diagnostic and optical care
• Mentoring tailored to your level of experience
• Support with continuing education and skill development 

About You

This opportunity could suit an experienced Optometrist looking for a more varied working week or a new graduate seeking broad exposure to how an independent practice delivers care.

You’ll bring:

• A recognised Optometry qualification, or be approaching graduation
• A genuine commitment to patient care and service
• A willingness to contribute across consulting and optical care
• Initiative, flexibility and an interest in continuing to learn 

The role is available from September, although Bridge Eye Care is prepared to wait for the right person, including a new graduate completing their studies.

If you want to practise optometry while understanding and influencing the complete patient outcome, this role offers scope well beyond the consulting room.

Optical Assistant / Dispenser – Full or Part Time
Five Dock Optometry | Five Dock, Inner West Sydney

Good dispensing is about more than choosing a frame that looks great. It’s understanding the person wearing it.

Five Dock Optometry is looking for an Optical Assistant or Dispenser to join its growing independent practice in Sydney’s Inner West.

With a broad mix of family eye care, children’s vision, myopia management, dry eye care and quality eyewear, this is an opportunity to work in a practice where the optical and clinical sides of eye care genuinely connect.

More than the dispensing desk
You’ll be involved throughout the patient journey, helping people understand their options and find eyewear that works for their vision, lifestyle and personal style.

Your role will include:

• Frame styling and lens recommendations
• Fittings, adjustments and repairs
• Supporting patients from initial selection through to collection and after-care
• Ordering, stock and maintaining the optical collection
• Working closely with the Optometrists and wider practice team

With exclusive designer frames, advanced lens options and exposure to areas including children’s vision and myopia management, there’s plenty here to keep building your optical knowledge.

What will work well here
Optical experience will be highly regarded whether you’re a qualified Optical Dispenser or have worked in an Optical Assistant role. But it isn’t essential.

If you’re new to optics, you’ll need to be a confident communicator, comfortable working with people and genuinely interested in learning the technical side of eyewear and eye care. Training and support will be provided as you build your knowledge.

If you already have optical experience, you’ll have the opportunity to use what you know while continuing to develop across dispensing, lens technology and the broader clinical areas of the practice.

Whatever your starting point, attention to detail, curiosity and a willingness to learn will matter here.

The practical bits

• Full or part-time
• $27–$35 per hour, depending on experience
• Saturday availability required
• No Sundays, late nights or public holidays
• Ongoing training and development
• Modern independent practice
• Broad clinical and optical exposure
• Quality and exclusive designer eyewear

Why Five Dock?
Five Dock Optometry has built its reputation around providing independent, personalised eye care to families across the Inner West.

The practice has a particular focus on children’s vision through its dedicated Kids Eye Care program, alongside myopia management, dry eye care, advanced lens technology and everyday family optometry.

For an Optical Assistant or Dispenser, that means being part of a practice where there is always something more to understand about the why behind the eyewear you’re recommending.

If you know your way around an optical practice but still like having something new to learn, or you're ready to discover just how much there is to learn about optics, Five Dock gives you plenty of both.

Optical Assistant / Dispenser

Focus on Laurimar | Doreen, VIC | Part-time

Focus on Laurimar is looking for a new team member and is open to different levels of experience.  If you enjoy working with people and exploring new opportunities, this could be the position you've been waiting for.  

You may already know your way around an optical practice, be studying optometry and looking for practical experience alongside your degree or bring strong customer service skills and be ready to learn something new.

The hours and days can be shaped around the successful applicant’s experience and availability, with regular part-time work available.

The role

We are seeking a flexible and engaging front of house staff member to join our team.  Each day will be varied and different to the day before.   

Depending on your experience, your day may include:

• Welcoming patients and managing appointments and enquiries
• Assisting with frame selection and eyewear decisions
• Supporting dispensing, collections, adjustments and repairs
• Processing orders and maintaining accurate patient records
• Working alongside the Optometrists to support a smooth patient experience
• Developing your knowledge of lenses, frames and clinical services

Why Focus on Laurimar?

Being independent allows the practice to offer hand-picked frames, personalised recommendations, and a broad range of services, including behavioural optometry, children’s vision, vision therapy, contact lenses and orthokeratology.

This creates a varied role with exposure to both the clinical and eyewear sides of optometry.

About you

• Enjoys helping patients make considered eyewear choices
• Has an interest in fashion, styling or quality products
• Is reliable, punctual and willing to take responsibility
• Learns new information and systems confidently

Optical Assistant / Optometry Student – Summer Casual

New Vision Eyewear | Lara, VIC | Approx. 3 months | Flexible roster

Looking for a different kind of summer role?

New Vision Eyewear has an opportunity to join the team in Lara over the summer period, with flexible casual work and the potential for the relationship to continue beyond the initial three months.

You might already be working in optics and looking for some additional hours. You could be an experienced Optical Assistant or Dispenser wanting something flexible. Or perhaps you're at least two years into your Optometry studies and want to use the university break to keep building practical experience.

For students balancing research, study or other university commitments, the roster can be flexible around these.

What you'll be part of

Working alongside experienced Optometrists and the optical team, you'll support patients throughout their experience with the practice.

Depending on your experience, this may include:

• Helping patients with frame and lens selection
• Optical dispensing, measurements, adjustments and repairs
• Welcoming patients and coordinating appointments
• Managing orders and general practice administration
• Supporting the everyday flow of the practice and patient care

Experience matters

This isn't a role where you'll be starting from scratch. Previous optical experience is essential, whether you've gained that through employment alongside your Optometry studies or through your existing career in optics.

We're looking for someone who can communicate confidently with patients, understands the optical environment and is comfortable getting involved wherever needed.

Flexibility beyond summer

The initial opportunity is for approximately three months over the university holiday and summer period, with flexibility around days and hours.

For an Optometry student, that could mean working more during the uni break and adjusting availability when study resumes. For someone already working in optics, it could provide the flexibility to fit around other commitments.

And if it's a great fit on both sides, the initial three months could open the door to a longer-term opportunity with New Vision Eyewear.

Whether you're building a career in optics or studying towards one, this could be three months well spent - keeping your skills current, adding to your experience and becoming part of a local independent practice along the way.

Looking for an optical role where there’s something new to learn?

Bassendean Optical is an independent practice with more than 25 years in the local community, combining everyday eye care and optical dispensing with a strong interest in children’s vision and vision therapy.

We’re looking for a part-time team member who can contribute to our optical dispensing and patient care while developing their skills in vision therapy.

You may already be an experienced Optical Dispenser, Optical Assistant or Vision Therapist. Or perhaps you have relevant experience and are particularly interested in developing your knowledge in this area. What matters is that you enjoy learning, can confidently absorb new information and are motivated to put that knowledge into practice.

A role with plenty of variety

This isn't a position where every day looks the same. Depending on your experience and development, your role may include:

Why Bassendean Optical?

Bassendean Optical has been part of the local community for more than 25 years. As an independent practice, our work extends beyond routine eye care, with particular interests in children's vision and vision therapy.

For the right person, this creates an opportunity to build skills that aren't available in every optical practice. Training and guidance will be provided, with the potential to undertake further formal vision therapy education as your experience develops.

You'll also benefit from:

• Part-time hours with alternate Saturdays
• Ongoing learning and professional development
• Exposure to a broader range of patient care
• An experienced practice environment where questions and learning are encouraged
• The opportunity to develop skills in a more specialised area of optometry 

Could vision therapy be your next skill?

You don't necessarily need to arrive knowing how to deliver vision therapy. You do need to arrive wanting to learn.

If you're looking for a part-time optical role that can expand your skills beyond traditional dispensing and introduce you to a fascinating area of patient care, Bassendean Optical could offer exactly that next step.

Bassendean Optical is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to an inclusive and respectful workplace.

Business Intelligence Analyst

ProVision - Mulgrave, VIC 

Full-time - Hybrid working

Good business intelligence does more than explain what happened. It helps independent businesses decide what to do next.

ProVision supports a network of independent optometry practices across Australia. Through ProIntel, our business intelligence and benchmarking platform, we help practice owners, Business Coaches and internal teams turn complex data into clearer insights and better-informed decisions.

We’re looking for an experienced Business Intelligence Analyst to take ownership of the reliability, accuracy and continued development of ProIntel, balancing day-to-day platform operations with reporting improvements and new analytics projects.

This is a hands-on and highly collaborative role. You’ll need strong Power BI and SQL capability, along with the communication skills to understand business needs, explain complex information clearly and build effective relationships with both ProVision team members and independent practice owners.

The role

Your work will include:

• Administering Power BI and Microsoft Fabric environments, including workspaces, access, refreshes and row-level security
• Developing reports, dashboards, DAX measures and semantic models
• Maintaining SQL-based data models, ETL processes, API connections and scheduled data loads
• Managing monthly benchmarking, reconciling practice data and resolving data-quality issues
• Translating business requirements into practical reporting and analytics solutions
• Coordinating external development work and supporting testing and implementation
• Maintaining data governance, technical documentation and well-structured datasets for future analytics and AI initiatives

What you’ll bring

You’ll bring at least five years’ experience in a similar business intelligence or data analytics role within a medium to large organisation, including strong practical capability in Power BI and SQL.

You’ll also need the analytical judgement to question the data, investigate the cause of an issue and determine whether the answer makes sense, not simply whether the report refreshes successfully.

We’re looking for:

• Strong Power BI capability, including DAX, Power Query, semantic modelling and row-level security
• Strong SQL Server and T-SQL capability
• Experience with ETL processes, data pipelines and data warehouse structures
• The ability to investigate data issues and deliver accurate, defensible reporting
• Strong stakeholder communication and the ability to explain technical information clearly
• A structured approach to requirements gathering, testing, documentation and project delivery

Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure or AWS analytics services, API integrations, Python or R, AI data preparation, privacy obligations or the Essential Eight will be highly regarded.

Relevant tertiary qualifications or industry certifications will also be well regarded but are not essential where equivalent practical experience can be demonstrated.

Why ProVision?

At ProVision, the work has a visible connection to the businesses we support. The reports, benchmarking measures and insights you develop will be used by independent practice owners to understand performance, identify opportunities and make decisions about their future.

You’ll join a collaborative Business Systems team, work across established and emerging technologies, and have the opportunity to influence how ProVision develops its analytics and AI capabilities.

You’ll also have access to:

• A hybrid working arrangement, typically including three days in our Mulgrave office and two days from home
• On-site parking
• An Employee Assistance Program

If you want to own more than a dashboard, and see your analysis put to work across a national network of independent businesses, this is where the numbers start to mean something.

• Learning about lens options and optical recommendations

Leongatha Optometrists has provided eye care to the Gippsland community for more than 45 years.

Optical Assistant / Dispenser
Leverett & Kindler Optometrists | Greensborough, VIC
Part Time

Some of our best Optical Dispensers didn't start their careers in optics.

At Leverett & Kindler Optometrists, we've successfully trained our current dispensers internally, and we're open to doing the same again for the right person. While optical experience would certainly be welcomed, we're equally interested in someone who brings confidence, adaptability, and strong people skills.

We're now looking for a part-time Optical Assistant / Dispenser, with weekend availability essential.

The Role

Working in a busy independent practice, you'll support patients throughout their experience. From welcoming them into the practice and assisting with eyewear selection through to dispensing, adjustments, repairs, and administration.

You'll work with people across different age groups, personalities, and needs, so being able to communicate confidently and adapt your approach will be important.

Your day may include:

• Helping patients choose eyewear that suits their needs, style and lifestyle
• Learning or applying optical dispensing skills
• Spectacle adjustments, repairs, and fittings
• Reception, appointments, and general administration
• Supporting optometrists and other team members throughout the day
• Providing calm, professional assistance when conversations or situations require a little more care 

Who Will Suit This Role?

Optical experience isn't essential.

Leverett & Kindler has the experience and capacity to provide comprehensive on-the-job training, so we're happy to consider someone from a strong retail, administration or customer service background who is genuinely interested in learning optics.

More importantly, we're looking for someone who is:

• Confident and adaptable when working with different people and situations
• A clear communicator who can build rapport with people of all ages
• Comfortable handling challenging conversations with maturity and good judgement
  Curious, willing to learn and receptive to feedback
• Organised and able to move between customer service, administration, and practical tasks
• Comfortable taking initiative while also knowing when to ask for support 

Why Leverett & Kindler?

Established in Greensborough in 1966, Leverett & Kindler Optometrists is an independent practice combining personalised eyecare with carefully selected eyewear.

You'll be joining a practice with a proven track record of developing people into capable Optical Dispensers, rather than expecting every new team member to arrive with years of optical experience.

For someone with the confidence to work with people, the adaptability to handle a varied day and the curiosity to learn a new industry, this could be the opportunity to turn strong transferable skills into a career in optics.

Optical Assistant / Optical Dispenser

• Explaining lens options and recommendations clearly
• Supporting optical dispensing, adjustments and repairs
• Processing orders and completing practice administration

You’ll bring:

• Confidence working with people and providing thoughtful service
• An organised approach and strong attention to detail
• The ability to learn products, systems and technical information
• Reliability, initiative and pride in the standard of your work
• A willingness to contribute to the team and take responsibility for your role
