An established practice. A considered transition. Time to care.
At Traralgon Optometry, full-scope care is part of everyday practice - from comprehensive eye examinations to managing ocular injuries and working with local ophthalmologists on ongoing patient care.
With 45-minute appointments, clinical autonomy and no KPIs, you’ll have time to get to know your patients, investigate their concerns and make considered clinical decisions.
We’re looking for an Optometrist to join us as one of our established clinicians gradually reduces their hours ahead of a planned retirement in mid-2027. Starting with two days per week in January, you’ll have an opportunity to settle into the practice and build patient relationships during this transition. Additional days may become available, potentially progressing to full-time following the retirement.

- Spectacle prescribing and contact lens fitting
The practice is equipped with OCT, Optos, retinal camera, pachymeter, visual fields and corneal topographer to support assessment and management.
Experience to draw on
Traralgon Optometry has cared for the local community for more than 45 years, building a strong reputation and established relationships with local healthcare providers.
You’ll join two experienced Optometrists and four reception and dispensing staff, whose combined dispensing experience exceeds 40 years. From the consulting room to frame and lens advice, you’ll work together to provide continuity throughout the patient’s care.
