Are you looking for an exciting and rewarding place to work in emergency medicine? Could you be Tasmanian?

The Tasmanian Health Service in Australia is expanding to meet the needs of our community and the Royal Hobart Hospital is seeking Emergency Medicine Registrars.

Here, you will be encouraged to be your authentic self, share your wisdom with emerging medical doctors, and find your purpose. Our remoteness fosters a culture of invention and human connection, creating a sense of community and adventure.

Tasmania offers breathtaking coastlines, National Parks, award-winning restaurants, and bars. You can surf in the early mornings, go fly fishing on weekends, take photography classes, write novels, or sell preserves at the farmers' markets. You can also take part in the community, volunteer, and serve on boards. Plus, with shorter commutes, you can enjoy outdoor activities like mountain biking or hiking after work while offering your family the opportunity to thrive in a safer, more adventurous place.
