Why Queenstown?

Set against a dramatic "moonscape" of rugged hills and rich mining history, Queenstown offers an off-the-beaten-path lifestyle full of old-world charm. It is a place where life moves at a different pace:

• Wilderness Escapes: You are at the doorstep of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, surrounded by ancient rainforests and world-class hiking.
• Coastal Adventures: Just 40 minutes from Strahan, giving you easy access to Macquarie Harbour cruises, the Gordon River, and stunning coastline.
• A Natural Playground: Explore nearby fishing lakes or take a ride on the historic West Coast Wilderness Railway.
• Unique Community: With a population of approximately 1,800, it is a friendly, close-knit environment where you can truly connect with your patients.

The Perks:

• Exceptional Earnings: A total package value of $490,000 per annum, including in-clinic earnings up to $300k and a daily VMO on-call rate totaling $110k/year.
• Relocation & Housing: A generous House & Car package plus an attractive sign-on and/ or relocation bonus.
• Government Incentives: MMM6 & DPA location—eligible for significant moratorium reductions, RVTS, AGPT, ACRRM Independent Pathway, and various procedural/rural incentive grants.
• Flexible Roster: Currently a 1:2 on-call Mon-Fri and 1:4 weekends, but we are happy to restructure for alternate rostering or part-time hours to suit your lifestyle.
• Site Visit Grant: A $2,000 grant is available for eligible applicants through the People Project to come and experience the West Coast for yourself.
