Northern Territory

The Northern Territory region is remote territory blessed with outback desert landscapes, sparkling waterfalls, lush waterholes and cultural experiences . It is home to Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and the Kakadu National Park.

General practice training in the NT is highly rewarding, adventurous and unlike anywhere else in Australia. You'll enjoy a laid-back outdoor lifestyle and the challenges of one of Australia's most culturally and linguistically diverse populations. 

By working in the NT, you'll be able to test your rural GP skillset and make a real difference to the health of aboriginal communities  in the region.
