About the Job

Rediscover what general practice is meant to feel like.

We are excited to be working with a practice that sits at the heart of a close-knit Southland community where medicine is personal, relationships matter, and continuity of care is genuinely valued. This is an opportunity for a General Practitioner  to practise in a setting where you are more than just a clinician, you are a trusted part of the community. The medical centre is well-established providing comprehensive primary care to a loyal and diverse patient population.  The team itself is small, experienced, and genuinely supportive. Nurses, administrative staff, and GPs work closely together, and there is a shared understanding of what good care looks like. Communication is open, help is always available, and there is a strong sense that everyone is working toward the same goal.

  • Competitive remuneration in the range of $500–$600 per session
  • Fully furnished four-bedroom house is provided 
  • Access to a car for both work and personal use
  • Airfares to New Zealand are covered
  • Six-month fixed-term or permanent appointment if it feels like the right fit

Why Southland

Southland’s natural environment is right on your doorstep. Weekends can be spent exploring nearby coastlines, walking tracks, rivers, and national parks. Whether it’s fishing, tramping, cycling, or simply getting outdoors, there is easy access to some of New Zealand’s most unspoiled landscapes. For those who enjoy travel and exploration, this part of the country offers a strong sense of adventure without the crowds.

Despite its rural feel, the town is not isolated. Invercargill is within comfortable driving distance, providing access to supermarkets, retail, dining, and airport connections. This balance means you can enjoy the benefits of rural living while still having the convenience of a larger centre nearby when needed.

Ultimately, life here is about regaining time. Time for yourself, family and for the things that matter outside of work.
