A special welcome to General Practitioners/Family Physicians and Nurse Practitioners

Working in rural New Zealand has so much to offer: stunning scenery, relaxed lifestyle, clean environment, an unsurpassed range of recreational activities, great food and wine, a unique culture and warm, friendly communities - as well as interesting and varied clinical work.

Recruitment solutions designed to meet your needs.

If you want a short term change of scenery, to get away from the stresses of managing a practice, or something more permanent, NZLocums can offer:

•  a working holiday as a roving locum
•  longer term locum work in a location of your choice
• a permanent placement

Depending on the type of employment you choose, NZLocums will either engage you directly, or link you to a suitable placement and support you in the process.

Our service is free.

NZLocums is non-profit and funded by the Government to ensure rural New Zealanders have access to quality health care. It's managed by the New Zealand Rural General Practice Network, the only nationwide organisation in New Zealand dedicated to representing the specific interests of rural health.

Our service is free to candidates and to New Zealand general practitioners who need to recruit a locum or secure a permanent appointment. The only nationwide service. We are the only free rural recruitment service that can offer you placements across the whole of New Zealand.
