Description

Te Whatu Ora is inviting Australian-trained Paediatric Registrars to join us for the 2027 training year.

Why Aussie Registrars are moving to NZ:

Contracted for Balance: 6 weeks annual leave, 12 public holidays, 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, clinical time counts toward experience and seniority. Financial Certainty: Competitive salaries with rostered hours built in and no overtime paperwork.
Practice with Confidence: NZ's no-fault ACC system means less defensive medicine, more clinical focus.
Immediate Rights: Australian citizens live, work, and access services from day one.

The package:

Pension contributions (6% if eligible), professional indemnity cover, relocation assistance, protected teaching time, and study leave funding.
Registrar grade

Commitment: Available for a mid-January 2027 start.

Essential qualifications

Minimum 2 years paediatric experience
