Discover the hidden gems of the Mackay Region, a destination full of natural beauty, from the rainforest to the reef, to incredible inland locations. Unique wildlife, epic road trips, fishing, camping, bushwalking, sport, art and culture, and hundreds of bucket list experiences for all travellers.
Top attractions in Mackay include the Eungella National Park, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Whitsunday Islands. For those with a penchant for getting out and about, you could always try the Bluewater Trail. This popular local activity covers more than 20 kilometres of dedicated pedestrian paths and bikeways and can be enjoyed anytime during the day or night. It also features many public art installations along its length.
If sun, sand and sensational ocean views are what you crave, Mackay’s Northern Beaches offer the ambience of a tropical retreat whilst only being 20 minutes from Mackay’s CBD. There are also numerous off-shore tropical islands to explore. One such example, situated at the southern entrance of the Whitsunday Passage, is the beautiful Brampton Island. It is dotted with hoop pines, open grasslands, woodlands, sheltered bays and fringed by twelve pristine beaches.
If your focus is more family-oriented then consider sunrise with wallabies, playtime with a platypus, or experience the flying fox at Finch Hatton rainforest.

About Jason Ahmad
I’m Jason Ahmad – Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner at Prescript. I have worked in a number of health-related fields; however, medical recruitment has been the most enjoyable. I have more than 20 years of experience in areas such as Pathology, Medical Indemnity and GP Recruitment. This broad knowledge base allows me to understand the challenges faced by those in our field and therefore find solutions that often create enduring positive outcomes.
I am driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities. It is immensely satisfying helping practices and hospitals find the right doctor for their permanent and locum positions, and I pride myself on finding optimal outcomes that balance doctor needs with practice requirements. Every time I make a placement, we are one step closer to solving the regional doctor shortage.
I see many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. I am particularly interested in seeing the barriers faced by International Medical Graduates lowered to facilitate their registration with the Australian Medical Board. As a cohort, they offer a very real solution to the enduring rural workforce shortage. I feel as a country, we have the resources and technology to do this without compromising patient safety.
Outside of work, I’m personally driven to encourage and support my two sons whose development are my greatest aspiration. Aside from a two-year stay in Melbourne, I have lived my entire life in Adelaide. I enjoy being outdoors when I can, and love a game of pool, and watching the cricket or football; especially at a live match. I have three cats and a dog who are sources of endless comfort and, at times, amusement.
