The Beyond City Limits stories showcase the diverse locations in which our trainees and fellows live and work and the personal and professional benefits of a regional lifestyle.
The articles have been published in recent issues of the ANZCA Bulletin and were produced with the assistance of the college policy and communications team, rural training hubs, hospitals, trainees and fellows.
You can read the articles online here or watch some of the accompanying videos we've created as part of the series below.
Beyond City Limits: Rockhampton and Mackay

Beyond City Limits: Tasmania
Beaches, mountains, food, wine and art are what draw people to Tasmania. But it's the sense of home, belonging and being part of a community that make people stay. With its crisp clean air, stunning scenery and bustling food scene, it's no wonder this island state is a drawcard for many fellows, trainees and specialist international medical graduates.
Beyond City Limits: Darwin
The Top End of Australia offers a unique experience for not only a broad scope of clinical practice opportunities but also the opportunity to be at the heart of stunning landscapes with tens of thousands of years of First Nations history and culture.
