Where you'll be working
QUEANBEYAN
Easy reach of Canberra and the NSW South Coast and the Snowy Mountains, Queanbeyan has its own distinct personality. Perched on the highest edge of the Monaro Plains, it’s a place rich with arts, heritage and culture, vibrant seasonal colours and delicious food and wine.
Queanbeyan is a three-hour drive from Sydney and just 20 mins from Canberra. You can also catch the train direct from Sydney, which takes around four hours, or fly into Canberra and hire a car to explore the region.
It’s only a hop, skip and jump to the national capital, but Queanbeyan is more than a stopping-off point en route to Canberra and beyond. Linger a little longer here and uncover its charms – wander along the Queanbeyan River, take in the grand heritage architecture (some now home to cool eateries and hip boutiques) and discover stunning attractions like Molonglo Gorge, Deua National Park and the Googong Foreshores.
There is an abundance of lifestyle benefits available to you in country NSW and you will be amazed at what you will have access to - and it all comes without the queues and crowds of a big city. Imagine Rural - Southern NSW Local Health District
