Salaries
in New Zealand
|
|
| At all stages,
doctors placed through IMR, will
remain employees of the hospitals or
clinics they work for.
Salaries for doctors in New
Zealand are set by the Government
and so doctors are paid the same
salaries for a particular job
throughout all of New Zealand. The
rate a doctor will be paid at
depends only on the number of hours
they will be working per week and
the number of postgraduate years
they have worked for.
