Queensland
Queensland welcomes people from interstate
and overseas with ideas, skills and initiative to
share a quality of life that ranks with the best in
the world. A relaxed lifestyle, affordable homes
and easy commuting make Queensland one
of Australia’s most attractive places to live and
work.
The people of Queensland enjoy an outdoor
lifestyle with world-class beaches and
waterways, national parks, rainforests and
tropical reefs. Our pleasant climate (average
summer temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius,
average winter temperatures of 15 degrees
Celsius) means that Queenslanders enjoy
more winter sunshine and warmth than most
other Australian states.
Queensland Health is currently planning
to advertise 665 intern positions for 2013,
including 44 Rural generalist Pathway
positions. The individual Queensland
Health facility intern numbers provided are
indicative only and subject to change prior
to the opening of the 2012 Recruitment
Campaign on Thursday 24 May.
