The Location
Nestled in the heart of North Tasmania, Launceston is a charming and picturesque city that beautifully blends its colonial heritage with modern conveniences. With its stunning Victorian and Georgian architecture, excellent schools, and affordable housing, it offers all the benefits of city living—without the traffic or long commutes. Perfect for those seeking a more relaxed lifestyle, Launceston is a vibrant hub known for its incredible fresh produce, world-class seafood, and a thriving foodie scene. The region’s temperate climate, featuring warm summers and crisp winters, creates the perfect conditions for winemaking, and the boutique wineries along the Tamar River are a testament to its excellence.
For those who love the great outdoors, Launceston is an adventure playground. Hike or mountain bike through the breathtaking Cataract Gorge, explore rugged national parks, or kayak down pristine rivers. If you love the ocean, the stunning beaches of Tasmania’s northeast coast, including the famous Bay of Fires and Wineglass Bay, are just a short drive away, perfect for surfing, swimming, and diving. With a local airport offering quick daily flights to Melbourne and Sydney, international connections are effortless, making Launceston an ideal place to live and work!

We know it’s important to balance career opportunities with lifestyle and we’ll talk through your plans and will get to know you to make sure we find the right role in the right location. Once we have secured a job for you, we’ll manage the Medical Registration and Visa application process, and support you (and your family) with the relocation itself.
