Medical Migration Advisor
, having a New Zealand-registered doctor who has personally migrated, successfully registered, and practised in New Zealand for a decade
If you are a Doctor from anywhere in the world, considering the possibilities of migrating to New Zealand, you will ask yourself three questions to start with:
Can I get registered to practice in New Zealand?
How can I get a job as a doctor in New Zealand?
Can I secure a long-term life in New Zealand for myself and my family?
A doctor who has already done exactly that has enormous credibility.

We are delighted with his professionalism and thoroughness. He comes highly recommended.
Anna was worth her weight in gold---she was fantastic at helping me format my CV and search for jobs that suited my skill set. In the end, I got a great job in a great city. Carsten and his team were very thorough and helpful when it came time to apply for and get our visas. They are now helping us with our resident visas, and I'm certain that the process will be the same. I'd recommend them highly.
NZIC guided me all the way through getting my first work visa to permanent residency. Their job seeking support was key when I first arrived in NZ, communication was always easy and clear. I'm very thankful for their help and definitely recommend their services.
Dear Jannie, just want to drop a note to thank for your everything. Your help is much appreciated! You are a wonderful and professional job search coach! I am so lucky to have you supporting me!
