They said yeah but what we mean by contacted to that hospital is you're contracted to our network for the year, and that includes Bundaberg so we can move you.

Overall, my long term goal is to return back to QLD and live regional/rural and with the new Bundaberg hospital project in swing, that's also enticing me to return back with my family, in place of Brisbane.

I’d also recommend Hervey Bay because the ophthal there was brilliant at teaching students.

I was a nurse prior and worked in Hervey Bay hospital for a bit and the nursing culture was not good at all (depending on the wards) .

u/XxGuppie · June 2026 · QLD · comment

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like Hervey Bay has a much better work culture with the more engaged teaching/less locums.
