    Darwin

    Darwin is a peaceful and relaxing city, set in a unique tropical environment. Darwin is culturally rich and diverse, with the influence of its neighbouring Asian countries adding to the holiday atmosphere. On the weekend, sample traditional street-food from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand at a variety of outdoor markets or attend festivals celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander or international cultures. Witness the iconic Top End sunset every night of the week from the walkways and cycle-paths of Nightcliff, Fannie Bay and Mindil Beach.

    With sunshine all year round, Darwin offers a relaxing outdoor lifestyle which is great for young children as well as those more adventurous in nature. Residents can explore, swim and hike through Litchfield National Park to the west, Kakadu National Park to the east and Nitmiluk National Park to the south. Enjoy walking, hiking, and camping through the beautiful dry season and fishing all year round.

    Darwin has a great work-life balance with both Royal Darwin Hospital and the airport only ever a 10-15 minute drive away from most suburbs in and around the city. International holidays are very accessible, with direct flights to both Singapore and Bali.

    This is a very exciting opportunity for the successful candidate with an attractive salary and lifestyle.
