Job Description
Why Brisbane in January?
While you're consulting in the cool comfort of our modern, purpose-built clinic, your family could be soaking up Brisbane's summer charm. Start the day with a coffee by the Brisbane River, then hop on a ferry to South Bank for a swim at the free city beach or a wander through the Queensland Museum.
Afternoons might include koala-spotting at Lone Pine Sanctuary, a picnic in the Botanic Gardens, or cooling off at one of the city's many water parks. On your days off, take a quick drive to the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast for world-class beaches, coastal hikes, or a seafood lunch with sweeping ocean views. Prefer the mountains? Explore rainforest trails and discover hidden waterfalls in the Glass House Mountains or Springbrook National Park.
Evenings are best spent indulging in Brisbane's vibrant multicultural food scene from bustling Asian night markets to riverside Greek tavernas and stylish modern Australian dining. With over 280 days of sunshine a year, Brisbane offers the perfect blend of city living, outdoor adventure, and family-friendly fun.
