New Zealand may be at the other side of the world but there will be so much you recognise when you come here to live and work! Dramatic landscapes, fresh air, and a lifestyle that is as packed with adventure and culture as you want it to be. For a small country there is huge diversity and the choice is yours for small town or big city living.
Do some research first though – visit, connect with kiwis (the people, not the bird or the fruit), ask them what they love about Aotearoa New Zealand. If you like what you see or hear and are thinking about New Zealand for a personal and professional switch-up, you have a headstart if you trained in Denmark, Finland, Sweden or Norway. These countries share a comparable health system with NZ which means the process to register as a Doctor here is much more straightforward.
