Are you a GP wanting to move to Adelaide?
Are you a GP looking for a GP job in Adelaide and want to find out more about moving to and living in Adelaide? Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and the fifth largest city in Australia. The city was a planned city, so the design and layout were carefully selected before it was established. This makes it very well laid out with lots of parks and green areas.
Whether it’s a great drop of wine from the Barossa, McLaren Vale or Coonawarra wineries or fresh, local food from the Adelaide Central Market, beautiful sandy white beaches and space to walk, there’s something for everyone. Adelaide is home to just over 1.3 million residents and offers a bustling city centre set to the backdrop of the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges. It also has a pleasant climate with warm to hot dry summers and relatively short winters.
The area is also known for its outstanding beaches with family-friendly areas popular for water sports. The coastline has dramatic clifftop scenery, surfing and fishing spots with popular beaches where you can see dolphins and whales. The Adelaide Fringe is a month-long festival in February-March that has everything from pop-up restaurants to performances of all kinds. There is also the Adelaide Show and Garden of Unearthly Delights festival.
It’s an amazing place to bring up children with a fabulous climate and plenty of activities to keep little ones amused.
Here’s a look at what it is like to live in the city and what you need to know as a GP considering relocating here.
