New Zealand doctors needed in Australia

Opportunity to grow your medical career.

Why are New Zealand doctors moving to Australia?

A move to Australia from New Zealand offers exciting career and lifestyle opportunities. In most cases, Australia will recognise your qualifications and we’ve spent 24 years helping New Zealand doctors across all grades and specialties relocate to Australia to work in amazing roles and experience the Australian way of life.

Australia is currently experiencing unprecedented shortage of doctors and we're here to support your move from New Zealand to a coastal, outback, city or rural placement in a public, private or community setting. Whether you are looking for a year’s fellowship position, a consultant role with less stress and better hours, or your first leadership position, we have hundreds of roles available Australia-wide.

It’s a big move, so we’ve prepared all the information you’ll need to get this exciting new chapter in your career underway.
