General Medicine Registrars – Relocate to New Zealand
Cross the ditch for a better rhythm of life.
Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is inviting Australian-trained General (Internal) Medicine Registrars to join the team.
Why Aussie Registrars are moving to New Zealand
- Contracted for balance – 6 weeks annual leave, 12 public holidays, and rosters designed around your life. After a shift, you're never far from surf beaches, bush trails, or snow-capped peaks. A good life isn't something you save for annual leave – it's what Tuesdays look like.
- Seamless career move – Streamlined MCNZ registration, with clinical time counting towards experience and seniority.
- Financial certainty – Competitive salaries with rostered hours built in and no overtime paperwork.
- Practice with confidence – New Zealand's no-fault ACC system means less defensive medicine and more clinical focus.
- Immediate rights – Australian citizens can live, work, and access services from day one.

- Professional indemnity cover
- Relocation assistance
- Protected teaching time
- Study leave funding
Essential qualifications
- Each subspecialty may have specific requirements
