Ballarat - Location Report

QUINTESSENTIAL BALLARAT

“Ballarat was built on gold and it’s easy to see the proceeds of those days in the grand Victorian-era architecture around the city centre. The single biggest attraction here is the fabulous, re-created gold-mining village at Sovereign Hill, but there’s plenty more in this busy provincial city to keep you occupied, including grand gold-mining-era architecture and a stunning new museum dedicated to the Eureka Stockade. ”

Rockhampton - Location Report

, ,

QUINTESSENTIAL ROCKHAMPTON

“Welcome to Rockhampton (‘Rocky’ to its mates), where the hats, boots and utes are big…but the bulls are even bigger. With over 2.5 million cattle within a 250km radius of Rockhampton, it’s called Australia’s Beef Capital for a reason. This sprawling country town is the administrative and commercial centre of central Queensland, its wide streets and fine Victorian-era buildings (take a stroll down Quay St) reflecting the region’s prosperous 19th-century heyday of gold and copper mining and beef-cattle industry.
”
— Lonely Planet

INTRODUCING 'ROCKY'

Rockhampton, on the Tropic of Capricorn in Queensland, is a town of about 80,000 people with a historic and elegant feel.  It is only a one hour flight from Brisbane and the airport is a 5 minute cab ride away, making the journey there quick and easy.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEEF

Did you know Rockhampton is the Beef Capital of Australia (there are over 2 million cattle within a 250km radius!) and they hold a 'Beef Week' every three years?  The town comes alive with social events, music and celebrity chefs who demonstrate all the different ways you can cook with beef.

VISIT A ZOO IN YOUR LUNCH BREAK (FOR FREE!)

Where else could you walk 5 minutes from your workplace and find yourself wandering around a zoo?  Nestled within the Botanic Gardens, the Rockhampton Zoo is a great place to get up-close to koalas, emus and kangaroos.  Go mid-week and you won't have to compete with any crowds.  Free entry, but a gold coin donation is welcomed.

WHERE TO STAY & WHERE TO EAT

Two bright, modern and central choices would be:

Lots of food options for you to try.  In the Empire Apartment Hotel building is a Ribs & Rumps (no prizes for guessing what's on the menu), an Italian called Pacino's, plus a Coffee Club. Nearby on William Street is the Ginger Mule, a tapas & cocktail bar that is famous for its steak.

LAUNCH PAD TO EXPLORE

Rockhampton is great as a launch pad to explore further afield. 30 minutes away is Yeppoon, a quirky coastal village. Grab a coffee from Cruisin' By and soak in the views of the Keppel Islands in the distance.  More time on your hands?  Catch a boat over to Great Keppel Island and stay for a night or two.  Surrounded by clear, pristine water you will be spoiled for choice with 17 white beaches to discover.

GETTING THERE

Flights - Qantas and Virgin connect Rockhampton with Brisbane and other cities.

Free 7 Part Series - ‘Managing Your Recruitment’

, ,
“Are you in charge of recruitment at your department, your hospital or your practice?”

Are you in charge of recruitment at your department, your hospital or your practice? Do you have to juggle this alongside your clinical or administrative role?  With everything else you have to do, does recruitment seem like a drain on your stretched resources?  If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then this free 7 part series of articles is for you.

Often we speak to employers tearing their hair out looking for new staff.  A common complaint is a lack of time to plan and invest in a structured recruitment process – “Goodness James, your ideas for how we can find a doctor sound great, but we just don’t have the luxury of going into that detail” or “I can’t really give you a detailed overview for the role.  Just send me over a CV when you’ve found someone and I’ll brief you then.”   The reality is that these are exactly the people who would benefit from pausing and re-examining their recruitment processes. Wouldn’t you want to save time, stress and money?

“Prescript is sharing this free blog series with you to explain how you can refresh and refine your current processes.”
