INTERN BASE SALARY<br />
Base salary varies across each state and territory. Each separately sets an award<br />
establishing the conditions of employment. Junior Medical Officers are paid a<br />
base salary, with additional professional development allowances, overtime, and<br />
penalty rates. The amount of overtime an intern is paid will depend on the hours<br />
worked. The approximate starting base salaries in 2024 will be available in the<br />
relevant states or territory's most recent award. It is worth considering these<br />
indicate base rates and do not factor in overtime, allowances or shift loading rates.<br />
Therefore, your take home salary may be different from the base rate indicated.<br />

APPLYING TO NEW ZEALAND<br />
All Australian graduates are eligible to work in New Zealand without having to sit<br />
further examinations. New Zealand intern/house surgeon positions are offered to<br />
doctors by the District Health Boards (DHB) that administer the hospitals. In<br />
general, it is one health board per city plus the surrounding province. All of the<br />
health boards normally employ doctors under the same contract, meaning work<br />
conditions are comparable across the country. Wages are based on a pay scale<br />
that takes into account the expected working hours. Job offers are allocated to<br />
graduates through a system called ACE (Advanced Choice of Employment), which<br />
matches applicants’ preferences to available DHB positions.<br />
