My plan is to study PhB at ANU (science research-focused degree) and major is probably physics and chemistry or physiology or neuroscience and once I complete the degree after 3 years I can do MBBS/PhD which is 4 years of post grad medicine and then 3 years of PhD doing 'cutting edge medical research' so once I am done I will be about 29 years old but will have an 'elite' bachelor in science (PhB), MBBS, and a PhD in medicine.
Is it possible for me to work in research (I do not want to teach)? How much will I earn? Are there organisations that hire people with PhD's to do research?

I'm a ANU grad. Sounds good but a lot of work.
