Working in Western Australia

Western Australians are living longer and healthier lives with an average life expectancy of 76 years for men and 82 years for women. Our mortality rate continues to decline and is among the lowest of any Australian State.

Western Australia's sparse population, vast distances and diverse climate present unique problems to the delivery of health services. The demands of a sophisticated market have led to the development of considerable expertise in all aspects of health care in Western Australia, and in many areas we lead the world.

Consider Western Australia in your future career plans:

3 Primary Allocation Centres (Fremantle Hospital, Royal Perth, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospitals).
nationally competitive salaries and conditions.
a range of external rotations beyond WA hospitals, including the New Zealand Exchange Program, GP Training Program at Albany and Busselton and Public Health experience in the Kimberley.

As well as a great working culture, Western Australia also offers a quality lifestyle including:

mediterranean climate.
white sandy beaches.

unique holiday experiences.
fresh local produce.
close proximity to award winning wine regions.
diverse entertainment.
arts and craft.
