Ophthalmologist opportunities
Vision Eye Institute (VEI) offers ophthalmologists the opportunity to build and grow their practice within a supportive, established network that combines clinical excellence with professional collaboration. Doctors benefit from access to state-of-the-art consulting facilities, experienced clinical and administrative teams, and a trusted national brand with a strong referral base. Doctors enjoy access to surgical facilities through Vision Hospital Group, VEI's world-class day surgeries. All eleven hospitals are equipped with the latest technology for a wide range of ophthalmic procedures.
As healthcare becomes increasingly complex, many ophthalmologists are choosing to align with larger, well-resourced organisations that provide practice management support, marketing expertise, and opportunities for peer connection and shared learning. At Vision Eye Institute, you’ll find a collegiate environment where autonomy and collaboration go hand in hand.
You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to research through our not-for profit research organisation – Future Vision Foundation as well as teaching, and clinical education via Shared Vision, our healthcare professional program led by a dedicated clinical relationships team. Both programs reflect our commitment to advancing ophthalmic care across Australia.
Along with consulting opportunities, we welcome expressions of interest from ophthalmologists seeking permanent or sessional opportunities across our national network of clinics and day hospitals.
