Think Australia. Think Tasmania.
When UK doctors picture Australia, their first thought might be Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or the beaches of Queensland. But venture a little further south and you'll discover somewhere very different – and that's exactly what makes Tasmania so special.
With spectacular natural beauty, a relaxed pace of life, incredible food and wine, historic towns and easy access to the great outdoors, Tasmania offers the chance to experience Australia without the hustle and bustle of the mainland's major cities.
This is your opportunity to join an established GP practice in Sorell, one of Tasmania's oldest towns, just 25 minutes from Hobart. With 65% of billings, flexible working arrangements, no weekend work and strong patient demand, you can build your career while enjoying a lifestyle that puts nature, community and quality of life firmly on the agenda.
