Working at a rural campus is a great way to experience a new work environment and an opportunity to learn new skills and share them with your team when you return to Ballarat.   

Typically, because rural campuses are much smaller than a regional centre such as Ballarat, you will be exposed to a greater variety of clinical care needs.  You will also build strong communities ties as you live and work alongside your colleagues and patients.   

Staying in Horsham or Dimboola, you will have the chance to explore all that the Grampians region has to offer, including the beautiful Grampians National Park and Wartook Valley. This area features endless opportunity for outdoor activities like hiking, mountain climbing and fishing, as well as vibrant and welcoming local recreational sports teams and bourgeoning food culture.
