The Location

Canberra is one of Australia’s best-kept secrets – a vibrant, welcoming city that offers the ideal mix of career opportunity and relaxed living. Surrounded by bushland, mountains, and national parks, it’s perfect for nature lovers, while still offering the cultural perks of a capital city. You’ll find top-class restaurants, weekend farmers markets, museums, galleries, and a thriving café culture - all without the big-city congestion.
For families, Canberra ticks all the boxes – excellent public and private schools, wide open spaces for children to explore, and one of the lowest crime rates in Australia. The city boasts four beautiful seasons, with warm summers and crisp winters (and even a touch of snow in nearby areas!). It’s just a couple of hours to Sydney and the stunning South Coast beaches, or head the other way to hit the ski slopes of the Snowy Mountains.
Whether you’re into hiking, biking, arts, sports, or simply want a slower pace of life with a strong community feel, Canberra offers it all – making it an ideal destination for midwives and their families looking for a fresh start.
