Are you pas­sion­ate about edu­ca­tion, clin­i­cal excel­lence, and rur­al health? Join us on Tasmania’s West Coast in one of Tasmania’s most breath­tak­ing and reward­ing regions?

The West Coast of Tas­ma­nia is a region of raw beau­ty, rich his­to­ry, and resilient com­mu­ni­ties. A place like no oth­er, home to rugged moun­tains, rich min­ing his­to­ry, and a warm, wel­com­ing com­mu­ni­ty. From the his­toric town of Queen­stown to the scenic beau­ty of Stra­han and the charm of Zee­han and lush rain­forests of Rose­bery, this region offers a lifestyle that blends adven­ture, tran­quil­li­ty, and purpose.

Queen­stown is the largest town on the West Coast, nes­tled in the Queen Riv­er Val­ley and sur­round­ed by the dra­mat­ic West Coast Range. Once the world’s rich­est min­ing town, its unique ​‘moon­scape’ ter­rain — a lega­cy of ear­ly 20^th-cen­tu­ry cop­per min­ing — cre­ates a sur­re­al and cap­ti­vat­ing back­drop. Today, Queen­stown is a hub for tourism and out­door adven­ture, offer­ing 4WD tours, moun­tain bik­ing, and the icon­ic West Coast Wilder­ness Rail­way. The town’s her­itage archi­tec­ture, includ­ing the grand Empire Hotel and the restored Paragon The­atre, adds charm and char­ac­ter to this resilient community.

But don’t take our word for it, liv­ing and work­ing here is like a work­ing hol­i­day every day. You’ll be part of a close-knit com­mu­ni­ty, mak­ing a real dif­fer­ence in the lives of res­i­dents across the West Coast.
