Tasmanian Health Service – North (Launceston General Hospital)

To be Tasmanian is to value quality over quantity. We create, preserve, and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you be Tasmanian?

You’ve established yourself as a leader in your craft, providing best-practice pelvic health, lymphoedema or paediatric physiotherapy care to a range of patients, sharing your skills with the team as you go. These skills are in high demand everywhere. What’s different about Tasmania though, is our culture and our lifestyle. Here you will be encouraged to be yourself, to grow and to maximise the meaning in your work.

Here you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to breath-taking coastlines, National Parks, and incredible fresh produce crafted by locals. After a hard day at work, you don’t sit in traffic for an hour. You decompress with a wander through our beautiful city, an easy commute along the river, or you put on your boots and tell it to a mountain, within minutes.

We offer an exciting and rewarding place to work, featuring contemporary, evidence-informed practice that sees our Physiotherapists closely linked to the broader multidisciplinary team. We are a team of some 80 staff, a mix of passionate locals and new Tasmanian adventurers who will welcome your energy and experiences into the group dynamic.

This important role will see you taking on this leadership role in the life changing physiotherapy services we provide within the pelvic health, paediatrics and lymphoedema fields, covering pelvic health clinics and maternity ward; paediatric inpatient ward and outpatient clinics and outpatient lymphoedema services. You will inspire an engaged group, who will be keen to grow from your knowledge and experiences. Everything that we do is directed towards ensuring that our community members receive high quality care from skilled professionals, and you will play a large role in this mission. As a team, we’ll be committed to seeing you thrive. We’ll look after you from the beginning, ensuring you are fully welcomed into our team and culture. As an Allied Health group, we are dedicated to the development of our people and will work to help you to achieve your goals.
