Trade city life for bush walks, rivers, camping, hot springs, country pubs, tight-knit communities, music events, art festivals, country races, and more.

Each town has a unique vibe, and our various teams all have their own personal reasons for loving the lifestyle & work environment; that’s why we are offering a 3-day immersive experience (travel/accommodation expenses covered) for all potential candidates who are successful in their initial interview – so you can get to know our clinic culture & the beauty of living in the bush before making any hard-and-fast decisions.
