The Psychiatry job market in Australia and New Zealand

There is a high demand for Psychiatrists in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, the AMA dubs it a critical shortage while New Zealand’s growing and ageing population is resulting in an increased demand for mental health treatment.

The average annual salary for an Australian Psychiatrist typically falls within the range of AUD$150,000 to AUD$300,000. Locum Psychiatrists are earning up to AUD$3,500 a day.

In general, a Psychiatrist in New Zealand can expect to earn anywhere between NZD$150,000 to NZD$250,000 annually. Locum Psychiatrists are earning up to NZD$2,000 a day.

However, it is important to note that both these salary scales are dependent on various factors, such as years of experience, geographical location, and the type of healthcare facility in which you work.

Doctors first, then Jobs. That's our difference.

Life as a doctor demands you give everything. Dr Sam Hazledine learned this first as an intern. Years later Medrecruit was his response. Sam successfully lobbied the World Medical Association to amend the Declaration of Geneva (the modern-day Hippocratic Oath) to include:

I will attend to my own health, wellbeing, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.

Medrecruit continue to advocate for, educate, and work towards better health and wellbeing for all doctors.
