I 100% guarantee you Burnie and Launceston in Tasmania are recruiting JMOs if you direct email their teams, if you are willing to work semi-rurally.

Tassie has historically been okay for getting intern jobs, though you will more or less be limited to either LGH or NWRH as an outside applicant (the UTAS grads typically oversubscribe RHH).

LGH was a great place as an intern for me, and definitely provides an opportunity to be known by the bosses and get more direct teaching, as well as have a close knit intern group.
