Calling all Audiologists.
Are you seeking a new challenge? Would you like to expand your international experience? Then New Zealand could be the place for you.

To work in Public Audiology in New Zealand you will require a qualification and skills in Paediatric Assessment and Habilitation. This will include a qualification in Audiology recognised by the New Zealand Audiological Society (NZAS). Information regarding eligibility for membership to the NZAS is available at: www.audiology.org.nz/becoming-a-member/

In addition to domestic qualifications, the NZAS recognises overseas audiology programmes in Australia, US and Canada.

Applicants should have:

  • a commitment to cultural competency including understanding of the responsibilities with Te Tiriti o Waitangi
  • drive to achieve excellence in clinical practice
  • the ability to work in a collaborative manner with a wide variety of staff
  • excellent verbal and written communication skills and demonstrated organisational and time management skills.

Applicants may require supervision from a member of the NZAS to complete requirements for the NZAS Certificate of Clinical Competency and Paediatric competency.

Information about working and living in New Zealand:
Located in the South Pacific, New Zealand may have a relatively small population (approximately 4.5 million) but we're right up there on the world stage in many areas. Whether it is sports, arts or culture we're proud of what we've achieved and healthcare is no exception.

New Zealand has an excellent public health system. Eighteen Districts of varying sizes are responsible to provide or fund the provision of health services both in hospitals and the community. Each year the health sector works to achieve national health targets, which means there is a continual need for skilled professionals.

Right now, we have opportunities for experienced Audiologists to join our teams across the country - from the winterless north through to the beautiful south. If a work-life balance is important to you, New Zealand could be the perfect place to grow your career.
