Congratulations on making the decision to consider a move the paradise that is Australasia. We might be biased but we think it’s the best place in the world!

Immigration and moving here

As everyone loves doctors, once you have a job offer it is not a problem gaining a visa to work in New Zealand or Australia.

NEW ZEALAND

Once MedRecruit has confirmed a placement for you, you will be able to apply for a work visa or work permit. MedRecruit will assist and advise you with every step in completing your immigration requirements.

To work in New Zealand there are certain criteria you must meet that are laid down by the NZ Immigration Service. For further information, please visit the NZ Immigration service website www.immigration.govt.nz or ask us at MedRecruit – ukdoctors@medrecruit.com.

AUSTRALIA

To work in Australia there are a couple of visa options. Generally you will need a ‘Temporary Business (Long Stay) – Standard Business Sponsorship visa’. Another option is the ‘Medical Practitioner visa’. Click here to visit the website of the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship for more information.
