About the region: In Broome, you only need to drive 5 to 10 minutes to get anywhere. Yes … that means no more commuting in heavy traffic and even less need to get up at an early hour in the dark, and cold. Broome is a beautiful coastal destination near the top of Western Australia, with a delightful tropical climate and a population of 17,000 that swells to 45 ,000 during the Dry season (April-October). This provides a wonderful transition between a bustling tourist town and a quiet paradise nestled in the heart of the Kimberly region. Broome is the gateway to Kimberley’s, one of the last great wildernesses of the world. It has stunning beaches, plenty of opportunities for camping and fishing as well as a thriving community life with a diverse cultural blend of people from all over the world as well as lots of opportunities for health and wellness. Despite the swell in population, Broome currently only has 3 dental practices which means a high patient to practitioner ratio. An incredible opportunity awaits any Dentist looking to establish themselves quickly in a high demand location with a steady patient base, without the competition found in cities.
