This makes achieving great patient outcomes so much easier when the clients get help to wear the right footwear for their problem and you can guide them in choosing this.

THE LIFESTYLE

Sick of city traffic, ridiculous house prices and the growing heat of mainland Australia? 

Tired of being thrashed with 20 minute consults and not given exposure to the great variety of work Podiatrists are trained for? 

Podiatrists who are ready for a career and lifestyle change are strongly encouraged to apply.

Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania is a vibrant, growing waterfront city with a mild climate, four distinct seasons, fresh air and minimal traffic issues. 

Home ownership is more affordable than in the bigger capital cities, with work commutes of under 15 minutes the norm in the city and 20-30 minutes for those who want to choose a country lifestyle. 

Weekends in Hobart easy access to mountains, forests, beaches, wineries, festivals, markets, music, great food and restaurants. 

A short, one hour flight to Melbourne is an easy hop for those “big city” weekends, to shop or go to a concert, then you’ll gladly fly home to the clean air and easy, low stress lifestyle of Tasmania.
