Why NZ?
New Zealand is becoming more and more a location of choice for those who previously considered Australia as the most desirable location down under. Its rapid growth compared to other developed countries has recently been referred to as a “rock star economy” which has also seen New Zealand being recognised by the Mercer 2018 Quality of Living Rankings and has listed Auckland 3rd and Wellington 15th as the best places in the world to live and work.
Medical professionals are well-remunerated and enjoy great working conditions and an excellent work-life balance in New Zealand.
