You get to make a huge difference in our communities, while being are on the doorstep of an adventure/outdoors paradise with the best barramundi fishing in the territory and yes – lots of buffs! – parts of Crocodile Dundee were filmed here.
You will be based in Katherine (home of the Katherine Gorge and 3 hours’ drive from Darwin) and traveling to remote communities via air and road.
By working with Sunrise Health, you will get to make a difference, make lifelong friendships with the Aboriginal community, be well rewarded, give full play to your adventurous spirit and do a little bit of your own version of Dundee! So, are you up for the experience?
