South Australia
In many ways South Australia is a somewhat undiscovered location within Australia. When we talk about the Australian outback, the chances are you’re thinking about Northern Territory or Western Australia. Yet more than 80% of South Australia consists of awe inspiring outback country with well known destinations such as the Flinders Ranges, the underground opal mining town Coober Pedy, the stunning desert oasis of Coongie Lakes and Australia’s largest complex of artesian springs in the middle of the Simpson Desert. If a complete change of lifestyle is what you’re looking for, then the harsh and unforgiving beauty of the South Australian outback awaits.
As a complete contrast, the stylish, historic capital of Adelaide blends the old and new with its parklands, city beaches and bustling wide streets full of cafes and markets. Add the unspoilt charm of Kangaroo Island, the premier wineries of the Clare Valley and the famous rock lobster of the Limestone Coast and South Australia is a destination with something to offer any adventurous doctor.
There are a total of eight metropolitan hospitals (including large teaching hospitals) and a range of rural and regional hospitals located throughout the state. As with the rest of Australia, medical services are of the highest standard and cover a broad range of needs dictated by the climate, distances and environments within South Australia.
