Two lenses at the same time
Location choice usually needs two lenses at once. One is lifestyle , climate, family, community, pace of life. The other is eligibility , DPA, Medicare restrictions and any supervision requirements. A great opportunity sits inside both.
Types of locations to consider
- Major cities and inner suburbs
- Outer metropolitan and growth areas
- Coastal towns and regional cities
- Rural towns with strong community identity
- Remote and very remote practice
