To be Tasmanian is to pursue quality over quantity. We create, preserve, and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you be Tasmanian?
You’ve invested in your leadership and your clinical rehabilitation skills so you can make an impression in your career, advancing the Occupational Therapy profession and improving the lives of the people you serve. You could put this skillset into practise anywhere.
What’s different about Tasmania is our culture and our lifestyle. Our relative isolation helps drive a culture of curiosity, invention and human connection. Here you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to breath-taking coastlines, National Parks or award-winning restaurants or bars. After a big day at work, you won’t need to battle an hour’s commute. You might get on your bike or put on your walking shoes and head home through the tree-lined streets, past heritage buildings or quirky and quaint hideaways. Some people trek the coastline in the early mornings and on weekends, or take painting classes, write novels, sell preserves at the weekly farmers’ market, or become wine connoisseurs. Some people take up roles in sport clubs, theatre or music groups, as volunteers, or serving on boards. Spouses and children can thrive here in a safe and welcoming community with beautiful open spaces for adventure and play.
