Location
Deniliquin is a welcoming riverside town set on the Edward River, a tributary of the Murray River. It is a popular regional escape for doctors who enjoy being close to the water, with opportunities for fishing, walking, cycling, golf and relaxed time outdoors between shifts.
The town has a strong local food and community scene, with cafés, local produce markets and heritage attractions that give it plenty of character beyond the hospital. Deniliquin is also well known for major regional events, including the Deni Ute Muster and the Deniliquin Fishing Classic.
Deniliquin sits at the junction of the Cobb and Riverina Highways, around one hour north of Echuca Moama. It is approximately 3.5 hours by road from Melbourne, around eight hours from Sydney, and a little over two hours from Albury Airport.

VMO GP experience
Emergency Department experience
Current AHPRA registration

Why This Role Is Worth Considering
