We are a family of 6 looking into a job in Hervey Bay (hospital). Kids are aged 4 - 9 years and love the outdoors. What is Hervey bay like for young families?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have had a look and it sounds prety good to me.

We love Hervey Bay, there are lots of young families here and lots of things to do for kids.

Thanks for the info. I have read all the other replies about it and it sounds like a great place to live. I just need to persuade the husband a bit more and hope he gets the job.

BTW what does he do? It is quite possible that he would have to look at places out of town like Maryborough etc as well.

Hi Bloke!
He's a surgeon and I'm a Physio and the job is between the two hospitals in Hervey bay and Maryborough.

oh.... just editing my message.... just look at the queensland health website... there a permanent position advertised for Physio... be quick if u wanna apply as the last date is 23rd june... let me know if i can guide u furthur... i am an OT working in the bay

Cheers

Ravi

Thanks for that - I had noticed that job on Friday via seek.com.au
I've got a bit of work to do yet in persuading OH to apply for his job - closing date 4th August. Are there regular physio opportunities in the area? I've done paediatrics for the last 10 years with the bias being acute respiratory. I am due to move to frail elderly in the next few weeks due to the current job crisis within the NHS - I am seeing it as another string to the bow!
Thanks for the info

yeah.... i guess u have to complte theory and practical exam to work in qld... if you are trained in overseas...but physios always find the job in bay... private or public hospitals...fortunately current economic crisis hasnt hit the health sector in australia... and Allied health has shortage all the time... all the very best.... have a great weekend mate...
