GP RECRUITMENT TESTIMONIALS

Emma and Kirsty have been brilliant, from the initial phone call to finding a job and navigating the endless paperwork required throughout the process.

We are loving the sun, the beaches and the endless wildlife and cannot wait to do more exploring. Working as a GP in Australia is rewarding, enjoyable and with a much better work life balance.

I would encourage other GPs to consider making the move down under!

Dr Victoria, Australia

Huge thanks to Emma and Kirsty for their outstanding support from start to finish — from finding a job to navigating the visa application process. I can’t recommend Transition Medical highly enough and would absolutely encourage other doctors to take the leap and experience living and working in New Zealand.

Dr Christina, NZ, January 2026

Transition Medical have been fantastic from start to finish. The team were incredibly responsive to my needs, connecting me with an excellent visa adviser who supported my partner and me throughout the process.

They guided me through every step of the documentation, including the Medical Council requirements, and matched me with my ideal practice. Their communication, reassurance, and practical help made the move far less stressful — and I’m really grateful for how seamless they made the transition to living and working in New Zealand.

I’m really enjoying the lifestyle here — the nature, the space, and the general way of life are exactly what I’d been looking for.

Moving countries (or fishing for a doctor across the pond) was never going to be easy, so thank goodness Transition Medical was there to hold my hand and pretty much do 70% of the job for me (and my boss who teamed us up)!
There were so many technical bits and pieces throughout the process.  I couldn’t have done it on my own. Thank you to Emma and Kirsty who are a WhatsApp message or phone call away, pushing through the process as smoothly as possible.
If you’re thinking of getting a doctor in the UK or carving a new path in Australia or New Zealand, you’ve got the right team here! 

Dr Verena, Australia Nov 2025

 I have always had somewhere I could turn to to help me navigate through the challenges, and by that I mean the fantastic team at Transition Medical (especially Emma and Kirsty) who from day one were ever present on my journey transitioning from living and working in Derbyshire to now living and working in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand.

I simply can’t imagine how I would have achieved the move without them, and I extend a sincere debt of gratitude to all of them for making the journey as swift and as painless as possible. 

Dr Chris, New Zealand

I just want to say a massive thank you to Emma and Kirsty for all their help in this daunting process of moving my life to the other side of the world! I can honestly say this process would not have felt as smooth as it did without the team at Transition Medical.
They were willing to work with me within my timeline and were available throughout the process with prompt responses to all my queries and emails.
Thank you Emma and Kirsty, for saving me from months of stress and headaches and guiding me to a job that is helping to reignite my enthusiasm for General Practice!

Dr Sushma, Australia July 2025

If you are thinking of moving out of the UK to work abroad as a General Practitioner, Transition Medical will be as an excellent resource for you helping you every step of the way in your transition to migrate to destinations including New Zealand and Australia. 

They have an excellent team that would provide you step by step guidance helping you to get to your desired destination. Their team includes caring sponsors and brilliant lawyers to make your transition as smooth as it could possibly be by providing you expert advice. 

I benefited hugely from the exemplary advice that I received considering that I had specific and complex immigration challenges.

It does not matter whatever age and stage in your career you might be, it is never too late with Transition Medical. 

Dr Irshad, Australia, June 2025

I have recently been through the whole process of moving to Australia from the UK and I can honestly say I don’t think I would have managed without Kirsty and Emma from Transition Medical.

They were fantastic the whole way through, low pressure, every practice I met through them was lovely, and I was incredibly well supported the whole way through. I felt they valued making sure that I was joining the right practice and the practice was finding the right person to join them.

I have compared my experience to friends who did it themselves or through other agencies and definitely feel I did it the best way, I highly recommend them.

Dr Lucy, Australia May 2025

Transition Medical has been phenomenal from the beginning and I’m so glad we had their support throughout the process!

Dr Chin, Australia, May 2025

My experience with the team was amazing. From the initial meeting to moving to New Zealand, they have been very helpful.

Dr Chamal, NZ

Transition Medical have made mine and my family’s move to South Australia so much easier. The support of Emma and Kirsty has been invaluable, as has the service given by their associated immigration lawyer.  Working a full time job and looking after two kids during the process, I don’t know how I’d have managed it without their help in navigating it all and assistance in completing the paperwork. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. 

Dr Stacey, Australia, 2025

Transition Medical have been fantastic throughout the whole process. Emma was helpful in finding jobs….we had 4 or 5 to choose from!

Life in Australia – people are friendly, you see fewer patients and have longer appointment times for more pay.

Dr Emma, Australia, 2023

Emma and Kirsty made my move to Australia easier. It took trying to fill just one of the many required forms myself to realise how much they worked behind the scenes to simplify the whole process.

Throughout the process, I felt my interests and choices were at the centre of their work and they moved at my pace. Thanks, Kirsty & Emma for helping me get back my mojo in general practice. I’m very grateful.

Dr Emeka, Australia 2025

Emma was so helpful from the get go, she was so informative which put the confidence in us that we were connected with the right company. I found a role exactly where we wanted and they made the whole process so simple.

Dr Aisling, Australia 2024

Emma and Kirsty were a huge helping hand in our move from Ireland to Perth, I cannot recommend them enough. The paperwork at the start was incredibly daunting and complicated but once we had them on board, they streamlined the whole process, making it so much easier to understand. We’re only here a couple of weeks but already know we made a great decision using Transition Medical to help with our move. They always replied quickly and kept us up to date with timeline expectations and answered the (many!) questions we had along the way with such patience and kindness. We would have no hesitancy recommending Transition Medical, they have been excellent!

I just want to say thank you so much for all your help.  You were brilliant at responding to all my queries and answering my 100s of questions! Could not have managed it without it and I’m so grateful for your support!

Dr Suwetha, Australia 2023

The guidance from Transition Medical was invaluable. They have supported us every step of the way and kept in touch ever since.

Dr Teresa, Australia,  2022

I’m so grateful for Transition Medical and especially Emma and Kirsty for realizing me a job in New Zealand. They did their work fantastically and were very kind from beginning till end. I would highly recommend them.

Dr Jesse, NZ  2023

Emma and the team couldn’t have made it any easier to help me move over to Christchurch from Manchester. From day one and throughout they were always responsive to any queries I had. They were also really clear in what actions I needed to take in order to progress through the steps from finding a job to having a visa approved and being in a position to finally buy flights. Their hard work and brilliant communication made the whole process stress and hassle free. Thanks everyone!

Dr Tom, NZ, 2023

It’s beautiful weather in the middle of winter, lovely and sunny outside. If you get the chance then go for it!

Dr Simon, Australia, 2023

I would definitely recommend transition medical to facilitate a move to Australia. Emma and Kirsty were really helpful, always prompt at replying to emails, friendly and very supportive. It would have been so difficult without them to navigate all the paperwork.
