New Zealand continues to experience strong demand for General Medicine doctors across its health system in 2025. Workforce shortages, increasing patient complexity, and efforts to improve access in rural regions are key drivers. Opportunities are available across both the public and private sectors, with particular need for registrars and consultants who can deliver generalist and sub-specialist care.
General Medicine registrars are in high demand throughout New Zealand, especially in district health boards (DHBs) serving regional populations. Many roles offer relocation assistance, training support, and a pathway to consultant-level positions.
Consultant Physicians can expect to earn between NZD $120,000 and $300,000 annually, depending on their experience, location, and contract structure (public vs. private). Physicians working in high-demand sub-specialties—such as cardiology, infectious diseases, geriatrics, and respiratory medicine—often earn at the upper end of this scale. Private-sector specialists, particularly those in procedural disciplines like gastroenterology, may earn significantly more, depending on case volume and business structure.
As New Zealand seeks to expand access to timely internal medicine services, there are growing opportunities for both long-term and locum roles across the country.
