The Emergency Department Medical Services leadership team has recently been recognised with a Rural Medical Specialist Award for outstanding contribution a reflection of the calibre and stability of the service.

The Lifestyle
Leave congestion behind and enjoy a tree-change, river-change, or lake-change lifestyle.

Fresh air, open spaces, minimal traffic
Safe, family-friendly community
Excellent schools with strong Year 12 academic outcomes
Mediterranean-style climate with low humidity and high sunshine hours
Average temperatures around 23°C
Outdoor living, water sports, cycling, food and wine experiences year-round
