MLHD is situated in an area of regional NSW often referred to as the “Food Bowl of Australia”. Within easy reach of Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra by air, rail and road and with access to the Victorian and NSW ski fields, this region really offers great lifestyle choices!
In one of Australia’s most diverse agricultural regions, you will find fresh local produce, award-winning wine, livestock production, pastoral crops and all the gourmet experiences that come with having such diverse and fresh ingredients on the doorstep. While our employees enjoy a range of rural lifestyle choices and progressive employment opportunities, they also take advantage of the conveniences of city living without the queues, crowds and traffic. With major cities and also smaller towns and villages, there is an abundance of choice for every lifestyle.
If you’re tired of commuting, seeking a smaller community to raise your family, needing a change of scenery or simply looking for a new level of personal and professional satisfaction, Murrumbidgee Local Health District is the ideal career choice for work/life balance. With rivers, lakes and a wealth of outdoor activities, there’s something to do and see the whole year round - you’ll be amazed at what you have access to!
