HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL
Immigration support for New Zealand healthcare employers
Care Workforce residence pathways, Green List medical roles, and family visas for the staff you're trying to keep, all handled by Licensed Immigration Advisers who know the sector.
Healthcare employers face a specific combination of immigration complexity most other sectors don't: Care Workforce Work to Residence pathways with their own eligibility rules, Green List roles for many medical specialties, and a volume of family visa work that catches a lot of employers off guard. An overseas-trained nurse rarely arrives alone, a partner and dependent children usually need visas too, and that work needs to happen alongside the primary application, not as an afterthought.
We handle all of it, but only the immigration side. If you're looking for help sourcing or recruiting clinical staff themselves, that's not a service we offer for this sector, we focus entirely on getting the immigration right for the staff you've already found.
Important
We provide immigration support only, we don't recruit clinical staff. Looking for a recruiter to fill a nursing or clinical role? We're not that.
What we help healthcare employers with
Immigration support only, five areas we work on most
Care Workforce Work to Residence
A dedicated pathway for eligible care workers, with its own qualification and role requirements. We'll confirm whether your staff qualify and manage the application through to residence.
Green List medical roles
Many medical and healthcare specialties sit on the Green List, meaning a more direct path to residence. We'll confirm which of your roles qualify and get the pathway moving early.
Family visas, at volume
Overseas-trained healthcare staff rarely arrive alone. Partner and dependent children's visas are often needed alongside the primary application, we handle the whole family's paperwork together, not as separate, disconnected processes.
Accreditation and AEWVs for healthcare staff
We'll work out the right Accreditation level for your organisation and prepare applications built to hold up at renewal, not just at first approval.
Workforce and visa-cycle planning
If a significant share of your workforce is on visas, we'll help you map renewals, residence timing, and stand-down risk before it becomes a staffing gap.
A rural charitable trust running a rest home and hospital, with no HR staff of its own, was struggling to recruit and retain staff locally, especially Health Care Assistants, an Activities Coordinator, and Registered Nurses.
We centralised and now manage all their Employer Accreditation and Job Check applications, and alongside our sister company Pivotal People, provide recruitment advertising support and broader HR help, job descriptions, employment agreements, and bonding arrangements.
We've become a long-term part of their team, giving their small management group real confidence they're on top of things, with favourable payment terms helping them retain staff too.
