Victoria

Victoria is a wonderful and diverse place to live. Melbourne is one of the worlds most liveable and cosmopolitan cities and it is the sporting and cultural capital of our country. Outside Melbourne, our cities and towns are home to stunning coastline and beaches, scenic national parks and world class facilities.

Victoria is also a great place to work as a doctor. The Victorian public health system is among the best in the world; our hospitals treat some of the most complex cases in the country and we are at the forefront of medical research. The Victorian Government is proud of this and remains committed to keeping the health system an attractive place to work. For doctors there are opportunities to work in a diverse range of interesting and rewarding settings; from smaller health care centres serving farming and remote communities to large tertiary hospitals in Melbourne and regional centres.
