Imagine waking up every morning with a sense of wellbeing and knowing you are part of a safe and supportive community. Knowing that you are minutes away from everything and that you have time to enjoy life.
So if you are wondering "Why Tasmania?", below are some reasons why...
Stunning beaches and coastline, rugged nature, a haven for wildlife, tons of national parks and World Heritage sites to explore make Tasmania a truly beautiful place. You can live your entire life here and still find new exciting things to discover and explore… and you are breathing the freshest air in the world.
Tasmania is probably the cheapest state in Australia to buy a property. You can find fantastic properties, in idyllic locations at a fraction of the cost compared to Australia’s capital cities.
When it comes down to the finest produce, Tasmania has it all. Top restaurants, world-class wineries and fantastic gourmet experiences. Living in Tasmania offers you access to prime organic produce, true farmers' markets, a multitude of food festivals and so much more. You can eat, drink and enjoy the good things in life.
Tens of thousands of ‘mainlanders’ (people from the other side of Bass Strait) continue to flock to the island every year to enjoy the Tasmanian cultural scene. There are lots of music events, art exhibitions, theatre performances and festivals all year round.
Here you have time, and how precious is that?! You can finish work, take the kids to sports or music lessons, go out with your partner for dinner, to the movies afterwards and by the time you finish it's still probably 9:30 pm, just in time for an extra glass of Pinot or a cuppa. Life is too short to not enjoy it.
To be honest, traffic jam is not a common term around here. Tasmania is not that big, so getting around the island is very easy (and have we mentioned the breathtaking scenery?). A drive home from work is definitely over in a few minutes, so you have more time to live. You are also close to airports with only a 1-hour flight to mainland Australia.
Nothing was ever an issue for the HR+ team when helping me with my new job in Tasmania. They had all the local knowledge and gave great advice when needed. They even helped pay for the move. If you want a GP job in Tasmania get in touch with HR+.

Because we are small (the state’s entire population is 1/4 of Brisbane's population), you get a great sense of community that truly cares for one another. Being a health professional in Tasmania comes with great appreciation and respect from all members of the community.
HR+ offers many opportunities for training and professional development as well as scholarships programs. You can keep updated with the latest in the medical industry as well as network with your professional colleagues.
