What internationally trained doctors need to know

Registered and ready to work, without the guesswork

Working as a doctor in New Zealand
New Zealand offers internationally trained doctors a high standard of living, strong professional support and roles across public hospitals, rural practices and locum placements nationwide. Getting registered is the first step, and it looks a little different to Australia.

How we handle your MCNZ registration
Our in-house regulatory team manages your application to the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ), including Vocational, Provisional General and Locum Tenens pathways, depending on your specialty and circumstances. If a visa is required, our registered Migration Agents take care of that too, including guidance for family members making the move with you.

Registration and job search, side by side
We work on your registration and your job search in parallel, so your first shift is ready to go as soon as your MCNZ registration comes through.
