Tell me more... We know podiatry roles are hard to fill… but this one's got real sole.  If you're ready to swap the city shuffle for reef, rainforest, and relaxation, then Cooktown might just be your perfect fit.

Why Cooktown?

Where the Great Barrier Reef meets the Daintree Rainforest — Cooktown is as stunning as it is peaceful. Think weekends spent fishing, exploring waterfalls, or watching the sunset from Grassy Hill instead of hunting for a park at Woolies.

It's a small, tight-knit community with a big heart (and plenty of people who'll be very grateful for happy, healthy feet).
