MSF seeks Darwin recruits
The medical organisation Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) is running a recruitment drive in Darwin this week.
The group, also known as Doctors without Borders, recruit more than 2,000 doctors, nurses and support staff world-wide each year.
Last year 111 positions were filled by Australians and New Zealanders.
Tanya Davies says Medecins Sans Frontiers has its eye on Northern Territory doctors and nurses who would be ideal for a position.
“There’s a lot of people in the Territory that might be looking to doing something different for a while and might be interested in volunteering,” she said.
“MSF is looking to get people who are interested in people going overseas with them for nine months.”
She says a stint overseas may actually renew the enthusiasm of Territory doctors and nurses.
“This is something I see for people who are in the NT who need a bit of a break and want to come back,” she said.
“I was working for two years in Central Australia at Utopia … [I] got a bit burnt out, needed a break, went overseas with MSF which was a wonderful experience and came back.”
