They were where you are now

Most of them arrived never having set foot in either country.

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 Plan Ethicare, 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.

Should I travel to New Zealand as a visitor and look for a job when I arrive?

We strongly advise against it. Being in the country, or even registered, doesn’t guarantee a job: secure the role first, then plan the move. Read the New Zealand visa guide.

Why aren’t there many nursing vacancies in New Zealand, and should I do the OSCE first?

Many hospitals recruit nurses directly, and some registered international nurses are still looking for roles. Be cautious about paying for the OSCE before you know your job prospects. Read about nursing in New Zealand.

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.
