Optometrist, Whyalla SA

Full Scope | Full time Position | Brand-New Clinic

Your career. Your lifestyle. Your opportunity – all in one place.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, team-oriented optometrist to join Eyre Eye Centre in Whyalla — a long-established practice now operating from a stunning, purpose-built clinic that opened in December 2024.

Whether you're a recent graduate looking for support and variety, or an experienced optometrist seeking autonomy and a refreshing change of pace, this is an opportunity to practise full-scope optometry in a vibrant rural city on the beautiful Eyre Peninsula.

About the Role

This is a full-time position based in Whyalla, working in a state-of-the-art clinic designed for comfort, efficiency, and patient-centred care. You’ll provide comprehensive, independent optometry with the support of an experienced administrative and dispensing team, as well as access to a wider clinical network across our Port Lincoln and Whyalla practices.

There is no weekend work, no KPIs, and no corporate sales pressure — just quality, meaningful care and the chance to build long-term relationships with patients.

You’ll work with a broad and loyal patient base, spanning general eye care, contact lenses, children's vision, ocular disease co-management, and outreach to rural communities and the local Aboriginal Health Service.

What We're Looking For

• A fully qualified and AHPRA-registered optometrist (new graduates welcome!)

• A warm, professional communicator with strong clinical and interpersonal skills

• A commitment to delivering exceptional patient care with integrity and independence

• Someone who values community, collaboration, and continuous learning

• A sense of adventure – ready to embrace life and practice in regional South Australia!
