GPs scrape into the top 50 highest earners in Australia, but fall well below their specialist and surgical colleagues, according to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Male GPs earn an average of $185,000 per year and rank number 48 among all Australian men, while female GPs earn an average of $130,000 and rank number 40 among all Australian women, taxation statistics from 2013/2014 show. Neurosurgeons are the top earners among males, raking in almost $600,000 per year, while judges are the top earners among females, earning about $350,000 per year (see the top 50 list from 2013/2014 below).

Professionals from the legal and finance industries occupy the majority of the non-medical top 50 positions, with cricketers, politicians, engineers and mining managers also getting a look in. Although it is widely believed that tradies earn more than GPs, the ATO statistics reveal that the average income of builders, plumbers and electricians is only about $70,000-$90,000. Meanwhile, some of the lowest earners in 2013/2014 included deer farmers, fruit pickers, hamburger cooks, and bicycle mechanics, who all made less than $20,000. According to the ATO, the statistics do not include some mega-rich earners because their career title was unavailable or they were protected by privacy. The average annual income of these individuals was more than $3 million. Top 50 earners in Australia in 2013/2014 ($): males and females Advertisement
