I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror --
The wide brown land for me!

- Dorothea MacKellar

Is it good for my career?

"The Australian health system is world-class in both its effectiveness and efficiency: Australia consistently ranks in the best performing group of countries for healthy life expectancy and health expenditure per person." (World Health Organization 2003).

There are fantastic opportunities to work across Australia and New Zealand in a healthcare system that is among the best in the world. Australians spend a much higher percentage of their income on healthcare, which means that the hospitals here are modern and well equipped. There is an emphasis on evidence-based practice and quality assurance all of which ensure that your experience here will be valuable to your career whether you stay forever or return home after a year.

What about the lifestyle?

Whatever your interests, you will find them in Australia. From wine tasting too bungy jumping...it all happens here. Australian cities have been consistently voted the most liveable in the world with all capital cities featuring in the world's top 10.

The incredible influence that migrants have had on Australia is evident in everything from cuisine to art and literature. As one of the most multicultural nations in the world, Australians celebrate the contribution of other cultures and believe passionately in freedom of speech and religion. Cultural activities from Opera to Street Theatre are all well supported and there are more sporting activities than you can imagine.

Remember, all activities are accessible and affordable. Cost of Living

The single thing that allows so many lifestyle options in Australia is the fabulous climate. The beach house is second home to most Aussies. Each state has its own unique microclimate and characteristics so to try to describe "Australia" is almost impossible.
