WHO ARE WE?
The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network offers opportunities across our sites, from Kangaroo Island to Eudunda, wrapping all the way around our metropolitan areas.

WHERE AND HOW YOU WILL WORK
Both of these roles are based out of Victor Harbor. Just over an hour’s drive from Adelaide, Victor Harbor curves around the wide sands of Encounter Bay, where granite headlands meet rolling surf and sea air carries a sense of escape. For generations of South Australians, this has been the quintessential seaside holiday town — nostalgic, animated and grounded in nature. For more information discover Victor Harbor here.
