Swap the Commute for a Kimberley Lifestyle!
This is one of those rare opportunities where the lifestyle can be just as appealing as the role.

You will be based in a lively coastal town where turquoise water, white sand, warm tropical evenings and spectacular Indian Ocean sunsets are part of everyday life.

Finish work and head to the beach. Spend your weekends fishing, boating, swimming, exploring dramatic red cliffs and secluded coastline, or simply enjoying a relaxed outdoor lifestyle.

The town has the conveniences you need – cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, sporting clubs, airport connections and a strong local community — while still offering the adventure and sense of space that comes with living in the Kimberley.

During the dry season, the area comes alive with markets, outdoor events, festivals and incredible weather. On your days off, some of Australia’s most remarkable landscapes and wilderness experiences are within reach.
For someone who loves the outdoors, warm weather and wants something very different from city life, it is an incredible place to call home.

What makes this a great role?
This is an excellent opportunity for a Registered Nurse or Aboriginal Health Practitioner looking to move beyond traditional clinical practice and into a role combining primary healthcare, program development, clinical governance, quality improvement and service leadership.
