Exciting Opportunity in Paediatric Outpatient Setting
Tasmania offers a unique culture and lifestyle, with a strong sense of community and belonging. Say goodbye to lengthy commutes, and enjoy breath-taking coastlines, National Parks, and incredible fresh produce crafted by locals, all within a stone's throw of your workplace.
Our relatively small size enables you to develop a strong understanding of your patients and to see the difference you make in their lives but is still large enough to offer opportunities for career progression, diversity in work, and development of areas of specialisation.
The slower paced lifestyle allows you to practice mindfully and to find meaning in your work. Our relative geographical isolation has led to a culture of innovation, resourcefulness, and collaboration, and you have the opportunity to be part of shaping the future of our healthcare system.
