Where the work is also depends on the type of work you’d like to do and what your specialty and experience is. You can search for current roles on our job search page.

Q: Will working as a locum affect my tax status?

Yes, working as a locum means you are essentially a contractor. Your tax structure will be different. In Australia, you will need to provide an Australian Business Number. In New Zealand, you may need to register for GST

Can I work in New Zealand?

MCNZ (Medical Council of New Zealand) registered doctors have a plethora of opportunities available for them to find both permanent and locum positions. If you are an Australian-trained doctor, you can work in New Zealand by obtaining MCNZ registration, and we are here to support you throughout this process.

For doctors who obtained their primary medical degree overseas, it is beneficial to have a few years of experience in a comparable health system such as the UK or Ireland. Working in New Zealand as an internationally trained doctor involves navigating certain pathways and considering specific restrictions. However, rest assured that we are well-versed in these processes and can guide you accordingly.

To learn more about working as an international doctor in New Zealand, we encourage you to visit our dedicated page for IMGs. There, you will find comprehensive information and resources to aid you in understanding the requirements, pathways, and opportunities available to you. Our goal is to simplify the process and help you embark on a successful medical career in beautiful New Zealand.
