Moving to Australia will have costs that need to be covered. Some practices can help financially by giving a sign-on or relocation bonus to cover these costs, but not all independent practices have the budget for this. However, it is not unusual for doctors to choose an independent practice because of the benefits associated with working in a smaller practice. These include having a committed and experienced Level 3 supervisor working closely with the new doctor.
