Location

If you've ever thought about trying remote practice, this is an opportunity to do it with plenty of practical support.

Life here is very different from the city. Fishing and boating are a big part of the lifestyle, with rivers and coastal waterways nearby. On your days off, you can get out on the water, go camping, explore Country and enjoy being outdoors.

There's plenty to do in your downtime, from visiting local Aboriginal art and cultural spaces to cooling off in the 25m community swimming pool. And when you want a change of scenery, regular flights to Darwin make it easy to head back to the city.

You'll need:

• A tertiary qualification in Social Work or Counselling
