Lifestyle in the East Coast

Some of Tasmania's most breathtaking beaches are located in this region. Live in safe, friendly and supportive communities close to a spectacular 220-kilometre long coastal drive with beautiful beaches, breathtaking ocean views, historic sites and accessible national parks.

HR+ provide an invaluable service to Practice Managers in Tasmania. Jenny has acted as a mentoring support for me since I commenced at Don Medical Clinic in September 2018, and also supported me through networking events and education during my previous practice manager role in Hobart. Having a mentor like Jenny from HR+ has made a huge difference to me as I find my feet in the challenging world of practice management. I have found the support that HR+ provide, not only with mentoring but also the events put on by the Practice Support team, and the email support networking resources that are regularly provided, are invaluable and I am sure for many other practice managers in the state.
