To hear first hand about the lifestyle experienced by GPs in New Zealand please what the following video about Dr McLeod’s experience working in the Coromandel, located in the North Island.
Kiwis have a love of the outdoors and delight in activities that make the most of our spectacular landscape. Skiing, mountaineering, fishing, hiking, boating, bush and beach walks are popular outdoor activities.
We also enjoy our culinary diversity, particularly fresh kaimoana, or seafood, and award-winning wine and craft beer.

In New Zealand we drive on the left side of the road with similar regulations applicable to the UK. Most licences will enable you to drive for a year in New Zealand before you need to transfer to a New Zealand licence and sit a theory test. Check the Automobile Association (AA) website for more information.
For travel between New Zealand’s islands, you can hop on a plane or ferry. Daily flights are available between domestic airports and passenger and vehicle ferries sail between the North, South and other islands.
Traveling by road is one of the best ways to see the country. Along with driving your own car, you can hire rental cars, motorhomes or take a bus trip to experience our beautiful road trips.
Public transport is also a popular option for many with reliable bus, train and ferry services operating throughout the country.
New Zealand is a great place to bring up your children. If you are coming to New Zealand on a work visa your dependent child is considered a domestic student and is entitled to attend state-funded primary and secondary (high) schools. State funding is not available to students from overseas at tertiary (university) level, unless the parent has applied for and been granted permanent residency.
