In Tasmania, we value quality over quantity. We create, preserve, and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, and with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you join us in Tasmania?
You’ve developed advanced skills in paediatric physiotherapy, and you could put these into place anywhere. What’s different about Tasmania is our culture and our lifestyle.

Our isolation helps drive a culture of invention and human connection, which feels both old fashioned and… like the only future worth pursuing.
We are small enough in Tasmania for you to shape and influence your work and make a real impact every day. Yet we are big enough for you to feel part of something important, somewhere you can belong and be surrounded by diversity, innovation, and friendships. Tasmanians are connected to the land where we live, and to the stories of the people who have cared for this place for tens of thousands of years.
