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.
“Iconic national attractions; riding Mount Stromlo’s bike trails; sipping our cool-climate Shiraz. Canberra offers the peak experience. It’s the best of Australia, brought together for you.”
The Impact You'll Have
This position will have a huge impact on the healthcare of communities across the ACT and regional NSW – you will be joining a value-driven hospital where mentoring and training is well integrated with the clinical service.
