Graduate / Junior Optometrist

Graham Hill Eyecare | Shepparton, VIC

Starting out is one thing - starting out well is another.

If you’re looking for your first (or early career) optometry role where you’ll be properly supported, encouraged, and exposed to a wide scope of clinical care - this is the kind of environment that sets you up for the long run.

Why this role is different

You’ll be joining a team of five experienced optometrists, each with their own clinical interests - giving you access to real-time guidance, second opinions, and ongoing mentorship as you develop.

You’ll never be the sole optometrist in practice while you’re finding your feet.

Supported by experienced dispensers, a strong reception team, and an in-house optical technician, you’ll be set up to focus on building your clinical confidence.

What you’ll be doing

A full-scope clinical role with exposure to:

• General optometry and comprehensive eye exams
• Children’s vision
• Contact lenses and Ortho-K
• Myopia management
• Dry eye therapy and therapeutics

Using advanced technology including OCT, OPTOS, topography, biometry and IPL.

This is a shared role between mostly optometry consulting hours but some hours of optical dispensing and assisting roles such as visual fields and contact lens teaching.

What you’ll gain

• Structured, ongoing mentorship within a collaborative team
• The opportunity to build confidence and clinical independence at the right pace
• A diverse patient base
• Full-time position (ideal), with weekday flexibility
• No late nights or weekends

About you

• A recent graduate or early-career optometrist
• Warm, approachable, and patient-focused
• Curious and eager to learn
• Comfortable asking questions and developing your skills
