Burnie
Burnie is a vibrant port city located in Australia’s beautiful island location of Tasmania. Here you will experience all the benefits of working in a rural practice and district of workforce shortage while living in a city environment with beaches, spectacular scenery and an abundance of things to do at your doorstep.
Burnie is Tasmania’s fourth largest city and is the gateway to the North West and West Coast areas of Tasmania through its road, rail and sea transport systems. It is 30 minutes' drive west (49 kilometres/30 miles) of Devonport and an hour’s flight from Melbourne. You can also choose to take the ferry from Melbourne which is a comfortable 3 hour journey.
Burnie has an inviting array of business and shopping facilities both in the CBD and surrounding districts. Within walking distance of the CBD you find yourself with sand between your toes and the sound of surf lapping, and a short walk along the pathways of Burnie Park you stroll through native rainforest to a dramatic waterfall.
Burnie offers a lifestyle with access to a wide range of shops and businesses, sporting facilities, a full range of educational facilities, enhanced primary care services and two local hospitals.
