Northern NSW Local Health District

Doctor opportunities

Practise medicine on the Northern NSW coast.

From the Tweed to the Clarence, build your career across the district's hospitals, with permanent, locum and training roles you can apply to directly through Arc Medical.

The region

World-class medicine, on a coastline you'd pick for the weekend.

Northern NSW runs from the Queensland border down to the Clarence Valley, taking in Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, Tweed Heads and Grafton. A subtropical climate, surf beaches, rainforest hinterland and a genuine community feel.

The Local Health District serves the region through a mix of major referral hospitals and district services, so you can find the caseload, teaching and lifestyle you're after, from a busy tertiary emergency department to a close-knit rural team.
