Southland Hospital - experience the city of lights.

Invercargill is the southernmost city in New Zealand and one of the southernmost cities in the world - let us take you to the deep south.

Known as the "city of lights" because of its long summer days and the frequent appearances of the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) Invercargill is one of New Zealand's most picturesque regions.

The laid-back vibe and close-knit hospital community make it the perfect place to reclaim work/life balance.
