If you’re looking to move to a system that values your time, your clinical autonomy, and your life outside the hospital, New Zealand is ready for you.

Why UK & Irish Registrars choose New Zealand

Whether you are in a formal training program or a non-training role, your time in New Zealand is recognised toward your clinical experience and seniority.

• Financial Certainty: Our Run Category system provides a transparent, predictable salary based on your rostered hours. Say goodbye to the administrative burden of chasing un-rostered overtime and enjoy clear financial certainty from day one.
• Clinical Standards: You’ll find clinical standards and professional expectations very similar to home, but within a system designed to offer a greater focus on clinical autonomy and professional well-being.
• Choose Your Pace: From our major tertiary hubs in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch to the hands-on variety and close-knit communities of our regional districts, we have roles to fit every career goal.
