West Coast District Hospital in Queenstown is now recruiting across multiple nursing roles. Whether you're stepping into leadership, expanding your clinical expertise, or supporting the next generation of nurses, we have a role for you.
Tasmania, Australia's only island state, offers unparalleled natural beauty and a luxurious lifestyle. Pursuing your health career in Tasmania’s public health system means building strong connections with colleagues and patients. It also means embracing a lifestyle where you can enjoy extraordinary experiences outside of work while making a significant impact on the community during work.
Queenstown offers a unique lifestyle in one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking regions. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and rich mining heritage, you’ll enjoy a slower pace of life, strong community connections, and endless opportunities for adventure from hiking and heritage railways to coastal escapes. An hour and a half away from the prestigious Cradle Mountain or a short 45 minute drive to Strahan, known for the Gordan River Cruise and West Coast Wilderness Railway, there is something to see in every direction. With unlimited hiking experiences and exclusive mine tours, enjoying your days off has never been so easy!
