Job openings

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 practice that has been caring for the local community for over 40 years. With a loyal patient base and a strong reputation for personalised, thorough care, this is a practice where optometrists are trusted to take the time needed to do their job properly.

We are a full-scope practice with Zeiss OCT, widefield imaging and Humphrey Visual Field, supporting a broad range of clinical work including ocular disease management, contact lenses and children’s vision care. Our approach is simple - be thorough, be accurate, and provide solutions that genuinely suit the patient.

This role will suit an optometrist who values clinical independence and building long-term patient relationships. While dispensing is not part of the role, a sound understanding of lenses and eyewear is important - because good outcomes don’t stop at 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 – Fitzgerald Optometry

Part-Time | Independent Practice

Fitzgerald Optometry is a well-established independent practice offering the kind of environment many Optometrists look for but rarely find - supportive colleagues, loyal patients, longer consult times, and the trust to focus on doing what’s right for your patients. You’ll be joining a collaborative team of three Optometrists in a practice that values genuine patient relationships, continuity of care, and a relaxed but professional culture.

• Co-management with Ophthalmologists and GP referrals

• Therapeutics qualification (preferred)
• A patient-first, clinically focused approach

Optometrist (0.8 FTE)

Pezzimenti Nixon Optometrist | Melbourne, VIC

Looking for a role where you can continue developing your clinical skills while building meaningful relationships with patients and being part of a genuinely collaborative team?

Pezzimenti Nixon Optometrist is seeking an early career Optometrist to join our independent practice in a unique role that combines comprehensive clinical care with involvement in dispensing, patient education, and projects that contribute to the ongoing growth and development of the practice.

You'll work closely with patients throughout their eye care journey while continuing to develop your interests in areas such as paediatric optometry, vision therapy, and evidence-based practice.

Why This Role Is Different

Unlike many optometry roles that focus solely on clinical consultations, this position offers the opportunity to be involved throughout the patient's entire eye care journey.

You'll support patients from assessment and diagnosis through to personalised eyewear recommendations, while also gaining exposure to paediatric optometry, vision therapy, patient education, and practice-based projects. If you're looking for a role that offers variety, collaboration, and opportunities to continue developing your professional interests, this could be the perfect next step.

The Role

This 0.8 FTE position includes:

• Three weekdays plus Saturdays (Saturday trading until 3pm)
• Comprehensive eye examinations and eye health management
• Dispensing support and personalised eyewear recommendations
• Paediatric optometry, vision therapy, and patient education
• Research, projects, and practice development activities
• Collaboration with a highly engaged and supportive team 

About You

You are an AHPRA-registered Optometrist with at least 1-2 years of clinical experience and confidence managing routine consultations independently.

You'll also bring:

• A genuine passion for patient-centred care
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A desire to continue developing your clinical skills and exploring areas of professional interest
• A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute to team success
• An appreciation for the role dispensing plays in achieving the best patient outcomes 

Why Join Pezzimenti Nixon?

• Well-established independent practice with a strong reputation for personalised care
• Structured support and mentoring from experienced clinicians
• Opportunity to develop areas of professional interest, including paediatric optometry and vision therapy
• Encouragement to contribute ideas and support practice innovation
• Collaborative team culture that values learning, growth, and patient outcomes
• Competitive remuneration aligned with experience 

Ready to Continue Growing Your Career?

If you're looking for a role that offers variety, professional development, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient outcomes, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Optometrist – 6 Month Parental Leave Contract (Potential to Extend)
Sankey Fraser Eyecare | Roma, QLD | Commencing July

Looking for optometry where you’re genuinely needed?

Sankey Fraser Eyecare, the only optometry practice in Roma, is seeking an Optometrist to join the team for a 6-month parental leave contract, commencing July.

This is full-scope, community-focused optometry where your clinical decisions matter, and your patient relationships run deep.

The Role

• Deliver comprehensive eye examinations across a diverse patient base
• Diagnose and manage ocular conditions using therapeutics
• Provide dispensing support where needed
• Work with advanced equipment including Optos Daytona, Zeiss OCT, Humphrey Visual Field analyser, and autorefractor
• Collaborate with an experienced Optometrist while maintaining clinical independence

About You

• Therapeutically endorsed (or eligible)
• Confident across general optometry and ocular disease management
• Comfortable with dispensing or willing to contribute when required
• Strong communicator who can build rapport within a close-knit community
• Adaptable, self-sufficient, and team-oriented

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be the difference - as the only practice in town, your impact is immediate and meaningful
• Clinical variety - exposure to a wide range of pathology not always seen in metro settings
• Supportive environment - experienced Optometrist and a highly capable team handling pre-testing and dispensing
• Well-equipped practice - work with quality diagnostic technology
• Lifestyle shift - experience regional Queensland with a strong sense of community

The Offer

• 6-month parental leave contract (starting July)
• Strong potential for extension
• Competitive remuneration, tailored to experience

If you’re looking for something more purposeful than the usual day-to-day, this role might surprise you—in a good way.

Ready for a career that gives you both clinical freedom and an incredible lifestyle?

At Total Eyecare, we’re proudly independent, non-corporate, and passionate about full-scope optometry. We’re looking for an experienced Optometrist to join our team in Hobart and surrounds - where world-class patient care meets one of the most liveable (and loveable) locations in Australia.

• Work across 2 of our 8 well-equipped practices in Hobart and surrounds.
• Flexible role - ideally part-time, with scope for full-time if desired.
• Full-scope optometry with OCT, visual fields, retinal cameras in all locations, plus advanced tech (widefield, topographer, ortho-K, Rexon) in central hubs.
• 30-60 minute consults + daily admin/emergency time - designed for quality care, not volume.
• Strong dispenser support, so you can stay focused on patients.
• No late nights or Sundays - just 1 in 3 Saturday mornings (9am–1pm).
• Outreach opportunities available for those interested.
• Competitive salary + relocation support (if applicable).

• Clinical freedom: We’re independent, so you’ll have the autonomy to practice optometry the way it should be - with the patient, not KPIs, at the centre.
• Supportive culture: Work alongside experienced colleagues in a collaborative, friendly environment.
• Professional growth: We encourage CPD, special interests, and clinical development, and will support you to follow your areas of passion.
• Tasmania lifestyle: Hobart is a city that punches well above its weight - think short commutes, a buzzing food and arts scene, and some of the world’s best hiking, wilderness, and coastlines right on your doorstep. Work in the morning, explore a mountain in the afternoon.

• At least 2 years’ optometry experience.
• A collaborative team player who values independence and long-term patient relationships.
• Keen to contribute to a practice that’s part of its community.

If you’re ready for the next step in your career - with real autonomy, strong support, and an enviable lifestyle - we’d love to hear from you.

Optical Assistant

Sindy Lowinger Optometrist – St Ives, NSW 

Not every optical role is built around rigid routines.
This one is different. 

Sindy Lowinger Optometrist is a community-focused practice with a strong interest in children’s vision and personalised care. We’re looking for someone warm, proactive, and confident working with children to join the practice one day per week, with opportunities to grow additional hours over time.

This role could suit someone currently studying Optometry, Optical Dispensing, health sciences, psychology, education, or another related field who is looking to gain hands-on experience in a practice environment. 

The Role

• Wednesdays required
• Flexible hours each week, with after-school availability essential
• Opportunity for additional days during school holidays and on Fridays
• Located in St Ives with public transport nearby  

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a varied role where no two days look the same. You’ll be involved in:

• Supporting children and families throughout appointments
• Assisting with recalls and appointment coordination
• Helping grow awareness of the practice through Instagram and Facebook
• General reception and administrative support
• Contributing ideas and using initiative to support practice growth  

This is not a heavily sales-focused dispensing role, and previous dispensing experience is not essential. 

About You

You might already have experience in:

• Customer service
• Reception or administration
• Healthcare or allied health environments
• Working with children
• Social media content or engagement  

We’d love to hear from someone who:

• Communicates confidently and warmly with children and parents
• Is organised and adaptable
• Enjoys taking initiative rather than waiting to be asked
• Is comfortable with changing schedules and a flexible work environment
• Has a genuine interest in eye care, children’s development, or healthcare  

Experience using Sunix is a bonus, though not essential. 

A Working With Children Check is required for this role. If you don’t currently hold one, the practice can support you with the application process. 

Why This Role Stands Out

• Genuine flexibility around study and life commitments
• Opportunity to build experience in a niche area of optometry
• Supportive small-practice environment
• Potential to grow your hours over time
• A role where initiative and personality matter just as much as experience  

Some roles teach you how a practice runs.
Others show you how patient relationships are built.
This one does both.

Alstonville Optometry | Northern NSW

Some roles are about selling glasses.
This one is about helping people feel like themselves again when they put them on.

Alstonville Optometry is a well-established independent practice known for personalised care, quality eyewear, and a genuinely supportive team. We’re looking for an Optical Assistant/Dispenser to join us 2–3 days per week in a hands-on, patient-focused role.

The Offer

• $35–$45 per hour, aligned with experience
• No weekends
• Complimentary eyewear and family discounts
• A stable, supportive team who enjoy working together

The Practice

Alstonville Optometry is proudly independent and community focused.
There’s a strong emphasis here on doing things properly - taking the time, getting the detail right, and delivering solutions that genuinely suit each patient.

The team environment is open, collaborative, and grounded. Ideas are welcomed, initiative is valued, and people are treated like adults.

Why This Role?

If you enjoy dispensing but don’t love the pushy retail environment…
If you like working with quality products and having time to do things properly…
If you want a team that’s consistent, and supportive…

You’ll feel right at home here.
