The Role

◾️ Psychiatry
◾️ ED

Lifestyle Features
When you visit Canberra, be prepared to experience one good thing after another. Whether it's world-class wining and dining, iconic national treasures or outdoor adventures, everything you're after is just an easy distance away.
Canberra is often overlooked by visitors to Australia in favour of Sydney and Melbourne, but it is truly a great location to live and visit. Canberra is a breath of fresh air (quite literally). The planned design in a rural setting makes it the perfect combination of the city and the great outdoors.
“Lonely Planet recently named our beloved capital as the third best city to visit in the world! Canberra is finally soaking up the spotlight it deserves, and you can bet that we’re proud as punch to be Canberran right now.”
