Tas­man­ian Health Ser­vice — King Island Hos­pi­tal & Com­mu­ni­ty Health Centre

Locat­ed in the Bass Strait between Vic­to­ria and north­west coast of Tas­ma­nia, King Island is well-known for world class cheese, fresh seafood, clean air, and incred­i­ble surf­ing and golf. King Island pro­vides a pic­turesque back­drop for work and leisure, offer­ing a close con­nec­tion to the land and sea. It’s a place where work-life bal­ance can be eas­i­ly achieved amidst stun­ning land­scapes and a sup­port­ive com­mu­ni­ty envi­ron­ment, with the island’s small pop­u­la­tion fos­ter­ing a tight-knit com­mu­ni­ty atmos­phere, where locals wel­come new­com­ers with warmth and hos­pi­tal­i­ty. In your down­time, you can choose your own adven­ture with one of our numer­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties to explore coastal walks, reserves, and his­toric sites, or you can sim­ply relax and enjoy the tranquillity.
