Tasman Health & Community Service in Nubeena provides health and community care services for the remote Tasman Peninsula communities of Nubeena, Taranna, and surrounding areas — a spectacularly beautiful peninsula jutting into the waters of Storm Bay east of Hobart, dominated by the dolerite sea cliffs of Cape Raoul and Tasman National Park and most famous as the site of the Port Arthur Historic Site, Australia's most visited heritage attraction. The service provides aged care and community health support for the small, resilient communities of the Tasman Peninsula, enabling elderly residents to remain in one of Tasmania's most dramatic natural landscapes. The Tasman Peninsula's geographic isolation — connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus — makes local health services essential for its ageing population.
