New Zealand Specialist Trainee Doctors Secure Pay Deal
New Zealand's gold visa program is seeing significant uptake, with investment levels reaching between $5 million and $10 million per applicant. The program is being described as a major success for the country's immigration and investment sectors. This influx of capital is expected to bolster local economic growth through high-net-worth residency. Doctors in the specialist trainees union have secured a pay deal following three months of negotiations with Te Whatu Ora. The agreement includes a 2.5% pay increase each year for the next two years. Additionally, the deal provides a one-off cash payment of $3,000 per doctor. The package also features improved rates for extra shifts, better support for those returning from parental leave, and assistance for doctors relocating for training.
