The Palliative job market in Australia and New Zealand

The palliative care job market in Australia and New Zealand reflects a growing demand for specialists committed to providing end-of-life care. This rise is attributed to an aging population and a holistic approach towards patient care, emphasising comfort and quality of life.

In Australia, palliative care physicians can expect salaries ranging from AUD $150,000 to $300,000, influenced by experience, location, and public vs. private sector work. New Zealand offers similar compensation, with salaries typically NZD $161,000 to $230,000.

Opportunities abound in both metropolitan and rural areas, with a particular need in remote regions. The market is ripe for professionals looking to make a meaningful impact, offering rewarding positions across a variety of settings, from hospitals to hospice care and home visits. Both countries provide a supportive environment for further training and specialisation, ensuring palliative care professionals can advance their skills while meeting critical healthcare needs.
