GPs who work in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health settings are more satisfied

Consistent with earlier Health of the Nation reports, job satisfaction is highest among GPs whose main practice setting is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health setting, including Aboriginal community controlled health organisations (ACCHOs), with 83% of GPs who work in these settings indicating they are satisfied with their job. This compares with the average job satisfaction level of 71% (Figure 40).
