What the doctors are saying:

NZ Doctor locuming in sunny Australia:
"I cannot believe other agencies don't offer the same service. Kerrie, you answered our questions promptly and helped place both of us in the same hospital. We are enjoying the sunshine and earning the Australian dollar. Off for a surf now. Will be in touch for more work once this locum finishes."

NZ Locum doctor working in Australia:
"You really know what you are doing and make it so easy - thank you"
 

Dr Karla Fernandes - South African trained doctor:
"I am a paediatrician that has recently moved from South Africa to New Zealand with my husband and 2 children. Kerrie Dudley has, in a very professional way, made our move smooth and easier by initially finding me a job that suited my requirements, liasing with my employer at all times, helping with the work permit application and immigration process, giving advice on every possible aspect of life in New Zealand, making sure that all of our needs were met (including accommodation and transport on arrival) and even providing us with a welcome gift and food!

She was always available to answer questions, reassure us on every aspect of our move and help us sort out whatever needed to be done. She is friendly and efficient and I am very grateful for what she has done for us as well as extremely pleased to have used her medical recruitment agency. I recommend Antipodean Medical unreservedly to any doctor who intends working in New Zealand."
 

RH - Australian doctor:
"Working with an agency that has been accredited, I know I am in good hands. You have proven this with my recent placement and to top it off your loyalty program is fantastic - I don't know any other agencies that can top it. Thanks again."
 

Dr Darragh Moran - Irish trained doctor:
"Kerrie from Antipodean Medical was absolutely fantastic in arranging a medical registrar job for me here in beautiful Tauranga. We had been involved with a few recruitment agencies but Antipodean was by far the most impressive and did the most work for my wife and I, with more job offers and more choice than with other agencies.

Despite travelling through China and Japan I was able to keep in contact through email and phone to keep abreast of job offers and opportunities. We had a good choice of possible jobs and locations. Kerrie was invaluable when it came to discussion of the pros and cons of particular locations, with good knowledge of the amenities and attractions of each location. She also arranged for a phone interview which I took whilst in a hotel in China! As I was travelling with my wife, Kerrie ensured that we had accommodation arranged prior to our arrival and even had a phone sim card sent to us! She was readily available for all questions and queries, and always replied promptly to all emails.

Thank you Kerrie for organising everything so efficiently, our NZ experience has been, and continues to be, everything we hoped for. I highly recommend Antipodean Medical to anyone considering working in NZ or Australia." Sincerely, Darragh
 

Dr Junaid - UK trained doctor:
"I was talking to the other doctors who started with me in August, and I definitely won when it came to agencies. No other agencies met them at the airport, provided accommodation for the interview or food. You really went beyond what was expected."
 

Dr Salim - Irish trained doctor:
"AMR has been very informative. I really appreciate how Kerrie extended her duty by giving essential technical advice to help my partner settle down in New Zealand as well."
 

Dr Chirag Patel - Indian trained doctor:
"I was applying over the internet for more than five months to every medical job posted, trying to get a job in Australia... but it wasn’t until I contacted Antipodean Medical Recruitment that I got it.

They gave me support right away; two days after I sent them my CV, I was asked to forward all my documents to a hospital in Australia. I received a job offer later and Antipodean Medical Recruitment helped me with all the medical board registration, visa requirements and paperwork. Even after arriving in Australia, they were in constant contact for support and follow up.

Here I am in beautiful Queensland, enjoying my work and new environment! A lot of work at the hospital, a lot of friendly people everywhere in this wonderful country. Thanks again for all your help!"
 

Dr Mary Anne Trimber - Irish trained doctor:
"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Antipodean for your recruiting needs. Kerrie Dudley’s open communication skills, makes her approachable on all levels. Travelling to a foreign country for work can take a task team to organize. Kerrie is a one woman task team. She is well travelled herself personally that only enhances her knowledge of the immigration policies and explains why her connections are so vast.

Kerrie took a pragmatic approach towards finding me the right match for my training.  She asked questions concerning what I wanted from a training hospital and what I needed from the city in which I was to live, and that perfect match was Timaru. She was instrumental in my transition to New Zealand from the States. The paperwork can be daunting to say the least and with her assistance I flew through it all. In one afternoon, my visa was organized, my medical license was procured, and I was happily moved to New Zealand.

I highly recommend Kerrie Dudley and Antipodean for all your medical recruiting needs."

What the hospitals are saying:

Sarah Boyes, Service Manager, Women and Children's Health Service, Hutt Valley District Health Board:
"Thanks for your support, I have used a lot of different agencies with recruitment and placement of medical staff and found that the service you provided to be one of the best I have used. I appreciated the regular updates, support you provided to the doctor, the little things like the food on arrival, continuing to look after the doctor once she had arrived and sticking with it when there were significant delays. I would definitely use your services again and recommend to others."

Australian Hospital:
"Thank you Kerrie for your valuable support and understanding."

New Zealand Hospital:
"I found working with AMR a very positive experience. You were always easy to get hold of and I knew that any queries I had would be followed up with the client and a response given to me in a timely manner. You were also very patient during what was a difficult time and appreciated that I couldn’t give you answers as soon as you wanted them and so left me alone until I was able to."

New Zealand Hospital:
"I thought the placement went well. There is quite some disparity regarding the service currently offered by agencies, and I thought that you dealt with it quite well."

Dave Moore, RMO Coordinator, Timaru Hospital:
“Antipodean had a good candidate when we needed him.  Persistence by Kerrie paid off and she managed the process well.  I would recommend Antipodean Medical Recruitment’s services as Kerrie got the results and was good to deal with.”
