Questions doctors ask. Straight answers.

How do I sign up?
Create an account at shiftmedical.co.nz, complete the sign-up wizard, and submit your registration details. You can browse available shifts before verification, and apply for shifts once verified.
How long does verification take?
Usually within 48 hours. We check your registration and practising certificate against the public register.
How do I get paid?
Directly by the practice, at the rate shown on the shift. Shift Medical does not handle your pay.
What if I need to cancel a booked shift?
Use the in-platform cancellation process as early as possible so the practice can re-post the shift. Repeated late cancellations may affect your account standing.
