If you've ever thought about trying remote practice, this is an opportunity to do it with plenty of practical support.

There's plenty to do in your downtime, from visiting local Aboriginal art and cultural spaces to cooling off in the 25m community swimming pool. And when you want a change of scenery, regular flights to Darwin make it easy to head back to the city.
