I worked here as a community psychiatrist for two weeks in August 2019. They put me up in the hotel across the road from the hospital which was convenient (but a bit sterile). Apparently they are flexible and I could have found other accommodation they'd have paid for instead. Psych was okay - not a disaster. Main caveat for mainlanders is one has to do a 36 question quiz on the Tasmanian Mental Health Act and score 100% (which was a bit nervewracking). Launceston easy to navigate - food nice. I had a pleasant time overall

Relief and ward jobs generally quite a manageable workload however the admitting and ward cover reg roles are very busy and long. Those shifts do tend to offer more days off after if you can push through. Generally well supported by on-call consultants. IT systems were fine. Accom was beautiful (self-arranged air bnb). Would recommend to any medical registrars looking for more experience and also looking to travel and explore Tasmania or the East Coast.
