New England / Northwest subregion map

The New England/Northwest subregion stretches from the Queensland/NSW border in the north, to Quirindi in the south. With more than 30 training facilities and 80 GP supervisors across the subregion, there are many training opportunities, including five Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services offering Aboriginal health training posts.

The subregion is known for its great rural lifestyle. It is a key area for agriculture, producing gourmet food and fine wine.  It has a number of small close-knit communities within reach of the regional towns of Tamworth and Armidale, which offer extensive shopping, dining, and arts and cultural opportunities. There is a network of airports across the subregion making travel to Sydney and other destinations relatively easy.
