umm
1 yr as an intern at a hospital
1 yr minimum as a resident at a hospital..
3 yrs in a fellowship training/studying to be a gp.. i think its conferred by the royal australian college of physicians at a registered hospital
then u should be done.
u can start to be a GP

fair enough...so do u start getting paid AFTER all of that or do u get some form of pay as soon as u finish ure degree?

yep once u done ure BMed or MBBS
u get paid in intern.. $42k -$50 /yr + u much do minimum overtime (up to $65K/yr)
(note: NSW 42.. WA 50)
but in SA if ure the most senior medical student in 6th yr in the ward u get paid $13/hr lolz
...
as a resident u get paid $60K then overtime again..
then u get paid by ure hospital to train or research.. during ure fellowship

how high can a GP's pay get to?, say.. 10 years after you officially become a GP

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
