Riverland South Australia Location Report

QUINTESSENTIAL Riverland

Riverland South Australia, have you considered visiting here? The relaxed lifestyle, tranquil Murray River and excellent food and wine scene makes it a fantastic place to visit and work.

“Captain a five-star houseboat or let someone else do the hard work on a paddle steamer cruise. Fish from the banks of the Murray River or paddle a kayak on the water. The Riverland is South Australia’s largest fruit-producing region so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to fresh fruit and other produce. Enjoy the sunshine, water sports and a laid-back lifestyle.”

— SouthAustralia.com

There is so much to do and see in the Riverland and Berri areas. A great place to start is here: 

Discover the Murray River National Park, see the 'Big Orange', enjoy the Riverland Wine & Food Festival or plan a houseboat adventure!

“The name Berri derives from the Aboriginal term berri berri, meaning ‘big bend in the river’, and it was once a busy refuelling stop for wood-burning paddle steamers. These days Berri is an affluent regional hub for both state government and agricultural casual-labour agencies. The ‘Big Orange’ – one of Australia’s iconic ‘big’ roadside tourist lures – awaits resuscitation on the edge of town.”

— Lonely Planet

• Fly to Adelaide or Mildura and drive to Berri.

• Daily bus service from Adelaide (about 3.5 hours).

ED SMO Fixed-Term Contract Rural South Australia

Do you have strong Emergency Medicine skills and a passion for rural health? Join the team at this private not-for-profit ED in the heart of one of South Australia’s best wine regions.

• Flexible fixed-term contract (3, 6 or 12 months) with sponsorship available for enrolment fees for the Emergency Medicine Certificate program
• Opportunity to combine with local General Practice work if desired
• Earn a competitive salary per year based on your experience for 3 shifts per week and 1 weekend per month

The Role

If you are a doctor in at least your PGY4 year interested in pursuing a career in rural emergency medicine, this could be your ideal next move. As an enthusiastic and motivated medical officer, you will play a vital role in the delivery of medical care to critically ill patients. Supervised by an experienced FACEM, the EMCD supervisor, you will be given guidance and leadership whilst also providing high-quality clinical care for patients. The hospital is currently processing accreditation with ACRRM, therefore opening opportunities to complete GP training in Emergency Medicine.

The Hospital

This private not-for-profit organisation provides Emergency services within a rural general hospital. You will get the advantages of a broad case-mix and hands-on experience but still enjoy a personalised approach to professional development, sometimes overlooked in larger metropolitan hospital units. Sponsorship for enrolment fees for the Emergency Medicine Certificate Program is available as well as support for 80 hours of placement within a suitable metropolitan hospital.

The Location

Surrounded by over 3000 hectares of vineyards and orchards, this charming historic town is one of the largest wine producers in Australia. The local cafes and restaurants are known for making great use of the region’s fresh produce and its multiculturalism. There are also many ways to enjoy the natural environment in and around town with a wonderful riverfront walk and national trust property close by.
