Thinking about working in Australia or New Zealand?
Moving overseas can be exciting: a new country, new opportunities, perhaps a completely different way of life. But deciding whether to make the move isn’t always straightforward, and there’s a lot to weigh up.
We can help you work through it. We place healthcare professionals with employers in Australia and New Zealand, and help with professional registration, interviews and the move itself.
- Will my qualifications be recognised?
- What could I earn?
- Where would we live?
- How would it work for my partner or children?
Hello, I’m Sophie, and I founded Ethicare. I’ve lived in New Zealand and spent time in Australia, so I know first-hand what a move like this involves.
You don’t need to have made your decision, or have all the answers, before you come to us.

Common questions
Still figuring things out?
I’m only thinking about moving. Is it too early to speak to Ethicare?
No. You don’t need to have chosen a country or started registration. Start with the pathway checker or My Move, and change your mind at any point.
Do I need to have found my role through Ethicare to use your tools and resources?
No. The tools and guides are free to use however you find your role. If you want our help with one, register your interest.
Do you charge healthcare professionals for helping them find a job?
No. Where we recruit for an employer, the employer pays our fee. You will still have your own costs, such as registration, visas and relocation: the cost calculator sets them out.
