The high-paying job is based in a rural town in Australia’s Queensland.(Representational image) If you agree to take up the job, you have to go off the grid. The rural town is looking to hire a family doctor, to replace the only one they have in the town which is a 17-hour drive away from Brisbane and its closest major city is a seven-hour drive away. The salary for the doctor is double of what an Australian doctor would earn but the town is pitching a simpler, slower life to anyone ready to take on the job. A simple but high-paying life The position comes highly recommended from the town’s previous doctor, who told AP that the job helped him better his skills as a doctor while working solo. “The money is plenty. One of the things that I think people don’t necessarily consider enough about this job is the other things that this town has to offer. It feels kind of like stepping back in time about 60-odd years. Everyone knows everyone,” said Dr Adam Louws. The doctor’s two-year contract will end soon and he plans to move back to Brisbane to be closer to his extended family. The town’s mayor said that the area needs a good sales pitch.“We actually have a very, very good lifestyle and a very safe lifestyle,” she said. “Yes, there is dance to travel at times, but how many people do you hear now wanting to escape from that and go off-grid?” Last year, a rural region of Spain made a similar offer to workers. It offered them $16,000 to relocate and conduct business there. (With AP inputs) News / Trending / This remote town is offering ₹3.6 crore salary, free house and car—but there’s a catch See Less
