Life beyond the job
What might a good week look like?
Not every day will feel like a holiday. The question is whether the ordinary days could feel good too: finishing a shift with daylight to spare, a beach on a Tuesday, a neighbourhood where you can picture your family settling.

Your move, your way
Your career, your family, your new home. Planned together.
Thinking about moving to Australia or New Zealand? Tell us a little about yourself and we’ll help you explore what your new life could look like, from your career and finances to family life and settling in.
We built it because moving to the other side of the world touches every part of life. It can mean taking children away from their schools and friends, setting up a new place to call home, and finding your community all over again. My Move keeps all of that together, around your answers.

Most of them arrived never having set foot in either country.
A year later, the children are thriving, we have a wonderful group of friends around us and Palmerston North genuinely feels like home.

A note from our founder
There’s a person behind every move.
During most of a decade working in the NHS, I saw first-hand the contribution international healthcare professionals make. I also learned the importance of building diverse teams that reflect the communities we care for.

I saw how important it was to help colleagues arriving from overseas understand the culture of the NHS, how we deliver care and the people we serve.
Since founding Ethicare, I’ve worked closely with healthcare teams in New Zealand and now Australia. I’ve learned a great deal from them too. Each country has its own challenges, and that understanding helps us prepare people for the workplaces and communities they’re moving into.
We want people to find opportunities that suit them, feel welcome in their new teams and have a good understanding of what life and work will be like.
“You don’t need to have made your decision, or have all the answers, before you come to us.”
