A survey of medical manpower in Victoria in 1977 revealed that 17% of registered medical practitioners were female and that the proportion of females was much higher among younger graduates. Seventy-eight per cent of female doctors were currently working in Victoria, compared with 82% of male doctors; 3.8% were "not working temporarily" compared with 0.6% of male doctors; and 3.9% were "retired" compared with 1.9% of male doctors. Female doctors accounted for only 8% of specialists in private practive, compared with 15% of general practitioners, more than 20% of salaried staff members of hospitals and other semigovernment and government bodies, and 40% of the staff members of community health centres. Thirty-eight per cent of female doctors were working part time. The need for part-time training programmes and part-time work, and the difficulties of female graduates becoming specialists are discussed. The implications of increasing proportions of female doctors entering the medical work force during the next decade, and the lower average working hours of female doctors compared with those of males, are considered in relation to the increasing supply of medical manpower in Australia.
1977年对维多利亚州医疗人力的一项调查显示，注册医生中有17%为女性，且在年轻毕业生中女性所占比例要高得多。78%的女医生目前在维多利亚州工作，而男医生的这一比例为82%；3.8%的女医生“暂时不工作”，而男医生的这一比例为0.6%；3.9%的女医生“已退休”，而男医生的这一比例为1.9%。在私人执业的专科医生中，女医生仅占8%，而全科医生中这一比例为15%，医院及其他半政府和政府机构的受薪工作人员中超过20%为女性，社区卫生中心工作人员中40%为女性。38%的女医生从事兼职工作。文中讨论了对兼职培训项目和兼职工作的需求，以及女毕业生成为专科医生的困难。考虑到澳大利亚医疗人力供应的增加，探讨了未来十年进入医疗行业的女医生比例不断上升以及女医生平均工作时间低于男医生所带来的影响。
