The Opportunity

Experience the Opal Capital of The World, which is often described as being moon-like, with its landscape dotted with shafts and mullock heaps from opal mining activities.

Coober Pedy is very remote region and has a high indigenous population. Two doctors are present and working at anyone one time, one located in the Emergency Department and the other in the Clinic, sharing the on-call. 

Doctors are paid $1320 on fly-in and out days and $2640 daily with one paid day off on the weekends. 

The Location

The township offers all the facilities expected in a large country town as well as numerous opal shops. As many buildings are partially or completely underground, a map or guide is recommended to help you find your way around.

The hospital is a 19-bed facility with 14 acute beds, 4 high-level residential aged care beds, and 1 palliative care bed and supports a 24/7 Accident & Emergency Department. Community Health provides Community Health Nurses, Allied Health support, and Community Aged Care services to the community and surrounding areas. Our staff work in close partnership with community health services and Aboriginal health providers to ensure that optimum care is delivered to all areas of the community.
