Kat Swatten, Clinical Lead – Education and Support, Physiotherapy at the Launceston General Hospital, moved from interstate to Tasmania on the recommendation of a mentor. “I think probably the coolest thing about the Tasmanian healthcare system is that it is big enough to make an impact, but little enough to care,” she says.
That care, is another common thread of all our valued Allied Health professionals across our service.
Take this opportunity to do meaningful work in a meaningful place, and make rewarding connections with your colleagues, leaders, patients and community.
