The Cardiology job market in Australia and New Zealand

With an aging population and the increasing prevalence of heart-related conditions, Cardiologists are in high demand across both public and private sectors. In Australia, the demand is particularly high in rural and remote areas, offering unique opportunities for cardiologists to make a significant impact. New Zealand, while smaller, also presents a steady demand, especially in underserved regions.

Pay ranges vary significantly based on location, experience, and type of employment (public vs. private, locum vs. permanent). In Australia, cardiologists can expect annual salaries ranging from AUD $300,000 to over $500,000 in 2025, with locum rates potentially reaching up to $3,500 per day. New Zealand offers slightly lower, yet competitive, salaries ranging from NZD $160,000 to $300,000 annually, with locum rates around NZD $1,500 per day. Both countries provide opportunities for additional income through private practice.

Overall, the cardiology job market in Australia and New Zealand is robust, with competitive salaries and a high demand for skilled professionals ready to address the growing healthcare needs of their populations.

FAQs

No, our service is free for doctors! We're paid by hospitals and clinics for our services and are preferred suppliers in several states and areas. Because we have a huge network of doctors, we save clinics and hospitals time (and money) by taking the stress out of the hiring and credentialing process.

Your registration number, a current CV and three references are the essentials of any job application. Other paperwork that's commonly required is:

  • Evidence of vaccinations,
  • Evidence of your degree/fellowship,
  • Annual Practicing Certificates,
  • Indemnity,
  • A certified copy of your passport and/or driver’s licence,
  • Police vetting form.

What you'll need can vary slightly between Australian states and New Zealand. Some states/locations also require you to complete an online training course (eMedical Courses). We're here to help guide you through the requirements, and we'll give you a checklist detailing everything you need.

Yes! Most locum placements offer travel and accommodation arrangements. We can help negotiate this for you. This is usually hospital accommodation or a nice bed and breakfast, and flight or petrol reimbursement.

Locum placements can be as short as a couple of days, though most doctors prefer slightly longer placements (a few weeks or months) so there’s time to get to know the area and the team. Medrecruit also works with doctors to find permanent roles.
