Highly professional, responsive, supportive, knowledgeable.

Amy Boudreau

Clinical Director, Psychiatry

Really caring. They try to find you a placement that matches, give options for accommodation, and always pay on time. They even call on your first day of work to see if everything is ok. Three years now I have had the same contact person. Honestly, it's been lovely.

Frequently asked questions about Psychiatry jobs in New Zealand

Common questions from doctors searching for Psychiatry roles in New Zealand.

MCNZ (Medical Council of New Zealand) registered doctors have a plethora of opportunities available for them to find both permanent and locum positions. If you are an Australian-trained doctor, you can work in New Zealand by obtaining MCNZ registration, and we are here to support you throughout this process. If you're looking for New Zealand jobs for foreign doctors who obtained their primary medical degree from medical schools overseas, it is beneficial to have at least 12 months of experience in a comparable health system such as the UK or Ireland. Working in New Zealand as an internationally trained doctor involves navigating certain pathways and considering specific restrictions. However, rest assured that we are well-versed in these processes and can guide you accordingly. Our goal is to simplify the process and help you embark on a successful medical career in beautiful New Zealand.
