GP VMOs Wanted: Discover Tasmania’s Hidden Gems & Practice Rural Medicine With Purpose

Tired of the city grind? How about waking up to ocean air, rolling hills, or rugged mountain peaks? From coastal islands to charming country towns, Tasmania offers a mix of serenity, adventure, and truly meaningful medicine.

• Smithton – Dairy country meets ocean breeze.
• St Marys – Peaceful village nestled beneath a mountain range.
• Scottsdale – A vibrant hub near vineyards and world-class mountain bike trails.
• Queenstown – A historic mining town with striking wilderness.
• Flinders & King Island – Island life, incredible seafood, and community spirit like no other.
