NZLocums & NZMedJobs is a New Zealand based medical recruitment organisation that recruits general practitioners (family physicians) and nurse practitioners. We are a division of Hauora Taiwhenua Rural Health Network and the only recruitment scheme of its kind funded by the Government to assist rural general practice with their recruitment and retention needs.

Testimonials
“NZLocums is such a wonderful service. They helped me through the whole process of finding a job including thinking about visas,
medical council registration, different areas in NZ and getting all the different forms done. They listened to what kind of job I wanted and
came up with a range of options. Replied to emails promptly and were very friendly and patient.” – UK, 2018“Thank you so much for your expertise in guiding me through this process, it made such a difference. I understand why NZLocums is so valuable as many doctors would be overwhelmed by the process without such guidance. Hope to see you when we return.” – USA, 2016
