Kangaroo Island, often referred to as "Australia's Galapagos," is a natural wonderland nestled off the southern coast of South Australia. This pristine island sanctuary is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Renowned for its unspoiled landscapes, Kangaroo Island boasts diverse ecosystems, from rugged cliffs and white-sand beaches to dense forests and vast bushland.
As the name suggests, kangaroos are just one of the many native species you'll encounter here, alongside sea lions, koalas, echidnas, and a plethora of birdlife. The island's protected status ensures the preservation of its unique flora and fauna, making it a biodiversity hotspot. Visitors can explore its beauty through a network of walking trails, witness dramatic rock formations, indulge in local produce, and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of this ecological jewel. Kangaroo Island is a testament to the breathtaking natural treasures that Australia has to offer.
This is an excellent health service to work in whilst exploring one of Australia’s bucket list holiday destinations – please enquire ASAP with your availability to assist.

About Max Drakeley
I’m Max Drakeley - Prescript's Senior Recruitment Partner for locum and permanent Specialist Doctor positions across Australia. My genuine interest, passion, and knowledge within the hospital and healthcare industry means I am able to provide a highly tailored service to doctors and health services.
I focus on listening to and understanding the needs of everyone I work with. This allows me to place doctors in positions that perfectly suit their requirements, and provide health services with well-informed and competent doctors, so they can operate at a higher capacity and under less stress.
When not providing solutions to doctors and communities Australia-wide, I love to cook, travel, and spend time with my dog, Monty, and my partner at my home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. I’m a science nerd at heart and spend my spare time as an editor and author for a cutting-edge Biology magazine for year-12 and undergraduate students.
