Alice Springs Hospital is the geographic centre of Australia. It is the only major hospital for about 1,000,000 square km and most admissions are Aboriginal people. The Department of Paediatrics cares for some of the nation's sickest and most socially disadvantaged children, many with diseases not seen elsewhere in the country.

Spectacular national parks surround Alice Springs. The lifestyle is laid back with an emphasis on outdoor activities. It is a friendly welcoming town in the unique central desert region of Australia and provides a stimulating backdrop to an exciting professional life.
