GP training in Brisbane South district


From the heart of bustling Brisbane to the laid-back beaches of ‘Straddie’, this district offers great lifestyle and training options.
The Brisbane South district corresponds with the Brisbane South Primary Health Network. The area covers suburbs south of the Brisbane River – from North Stradbroke Island across to Ipswich. Brisbane South spreads into zones three and four and as it’s a popular training location, there are limited placements available.
About Brisbane South district
South Brisbane is home to The Gabba, the Gallery of Modern Art and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. The Kangaroo Point cliffs are an important feature of the area. They’re home to the Nunukul Yuggera tribe, whose members gather at the base of the cliffs and tell stories of the Dreamtime through song and dance. No matter what time of day, the view from the cliffs across the river, the city, and further to the mountains is a thing of sheer beauty. From picnicking to abseiling, the cliffs are a beautiful place to escape the city life.
If you’re looking for a change from the ordinary, try living in the Redlands, a cluster of mainland and island communities along the Moreton Bay coast. For a community tucked right in beside the city, the relaxed lifestyle is welcome respite from being on the go. The sleepy fishing villages of North Stradbroke Island are a particularly popular destination as well.
Primary health network
The Brisbane South PHN has rolled out many targeted programs in the region, including initiatives aimed at improving refugee health, Indigenous health, mental health, aged care and chronic disease management. The PHN also focuses on improving after-hours care for vulnerable communities and increasing immunisation rates. Find out more here: www.bsphn.org.au
