Mersey Com­mu­ni­ty hos­pi­tal is a ded­i­cat­ed elec­tive surgery cen­tre and pro­vides a mix­ture of gen­er­al hos­pi­tal ser­vices.

The bustling city of Launce­s­ton is only an hour away from Latrobe. You are close to every­thing and ​“traf­fic jam” is not a com­mon term in Tas­ma­nia. Day­light sav­ing and short trav­el dis­tances allow for a bet­ter work life balance.
