South Australia has a population of 1.6 million people and it offers a relaxed and diverse lifestyle centrally located in mainland Australia. It boasts a diverse natural landscape and climate that sets it apart from the rest of Australia and the world.
Country areas in South Australia have been experiencing a steady economic growth and with affordable housing, access to first class health care and excellent education the region is becoming increasingly popular with doctors considering emigrating to Australia.
Most of the clinics that I partner with are a 2-3-hour drive from the capital, Adelaide, and are based in vibrant and welcoming rural communities.
Here are 6 reasons why you should consider a move to regional South Australia
- Easy, safe and comfortable living – Adelaide (the capital) was ranked tenth among world cities in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2019 Liveability Survey.
- Great weather – South Australia enjoys four distinct and beautiful seasons from cool winters to Mediterranean style summers.
- So much to do – South Australia has activities to satisfy every interest – more than 400 festivals each year, a wide range of international and national sporting events, and more restaurants and cafes per capita than any other city in Australia.
- Great education for you and your family – South Australia has a world-class education system for students from pre-school to post-graduate level. Carnegie Mellon and Cranfield universities and University College of London have chosen Adelaide as the base for their Asia Pacific campuses
- Strong community spirit – Regional communities often have strong and inclusive community clubs and organisations.  Smaller populations can lead to better opportunities for ‘getting involved’. Regional communities have a high degree of respect for people that help out and get involved in community activities, events and sports.
- South Australians, regardless of earnings or location, enjoy one of the world’s finest and fairest health-care systems, with access to first-class health professionals and medical facilities.
