National’s voluntary bonding scheme has accepted 501 new healthcare workers in its second year. There are now almost 1400 graduate doctors, nurses, and midwives in the scheme.
The scheme encourages doctors, nurses and midwives to establish careers in hard-to-staff communities and medical specialties, and aims to keep our home grown health graduates living and working in New Zealand. People who sign up to the scheme are offered student loan write offs, or cash incentives for those without student loans, if they work in these areas for three to five years.
This year South Canterbury and Taranaki District Health Boards were added to the list of hard to staff regions, and surgical nursing was added to the list of hard to staff specialties which qualify for the scheme.
