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

Optometrist (Full-Time or Part-Time)  

Campbelltown Eye Care

Campbelltown Eye Care is a long-established, family-owned practice that has been caring for the local community for over 40 years. With a loyal patient base and a strong reputation for personalised, thorough care, this is a practice where optometrists are trusted to take the time needed to do their job properly.

We are a full-scope practice with Zeiss OCT, widefield imaging and Humphrey Visual Field, supporting a broad range of clinical work including ocular disease management, contact lenses and children’s vision care. Our approach is simple - be thorough, be accurate, and provide solutions that genuinely suit the patient.

This role will suit an optometrist who values clinical independence and building long-term patient relationships. While dispensing is not part of the role, a sound understanding of lenses and eyewear is important - because good outcomes don’t stop at the prescription.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering comprehensive eye examinations across a diverse patient base
• Managing ocular health, including glaucoma and macular conditions
• Providing tailored recommendations across both clinical and optical solutions
• Building strong, ongoing relationships with patients

What we’re looking for:

• An Optometrist who takes pride in thorough, patient-focused care
• Strong clinical judgement and attention to detail
• Confidence working independently within a supportive team
• Ability to communicate clearly and build trust with patients

What you’ll find here:

• A well-established, community-focused independent practice
• A stable and experienced team environment
• Advanced clinical equipment to support full-scope optometry
• Consult times that allow you to work thoughtfully, not reactively
• Flexibility across full-time or part-time arrangements

If you’re looking for a role where you can practice with autonomy, build meaningful patient relationships, and be part of a genuinely established practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Looking for optometry where you’re genuinely needed?

Sankey Fraser Eyecare, the only optometry practice in Roma, is seeking an Optometrist to join the team for a 6-month parental leave contract, commencing July.

This is full-scope, community-focused optometry where your clinical decisions matter, and your patient relationships run deep.

The Role

• Deliver comprehensive eye examinations across a diverse patient base

The Offer

• 6-month parental leave contract (starting July)
• Strong potential for extension
• Competitive remuneration, tailored to experience

• Full-scope optometry with OCT, visual fields, retinal cameras in all locations, plus advanced tech (widefield, topographer, ortho-K, Rexon) in central hubs.

• No late nights or Sundays - just 1 in 3 Saturday mornings (9am–1pm).
• Outreach opportunities available for those interested.
• Competitive salary + relocation support (if applicable).

Why Total Eyecare?

• Clinical freedom: We’re independent, so you’ll have the autonomy to practice optometry the way it should be - with the patient, not KPIs, at the centre.

• Professional growth: We encourage CPD, special interests, and clinical development, and will support you to follow your areas of passion.
• Tasmania lifestyle: Hobart is a city that punches well above its weight - think short commutes, a buzzing food and arts scene, and some of the world’s best hiking, wilderness, and coastlines right on your doorstep. Work in the morning, explore a mountain in the afternoon.
