Salaries are calculated based on relevant previous years of experience and the average weekly hours of work as set out in the relevant run description. For the current salary bands, please refer to either the Specialty Trainees of New Zealand (SToNZ) or Resident Doctors - Association (RDA) Multi-Employer Collective Agreements.

Please note that the existing run description has been attached as a guideline only. We anticipate opening our additional 12 bed HDU at the beginning of 2025. This will necessitate a change to our current roster (and an increase in the number of registrars participating in this roster). This roster is currently in draft format, and will be sent to affected registrars once it is formalised. There may possibly also be a change to the fellow roster. The roster change will follow the RDA and STONZ principles regarding change management (including acceptance by majority of those affected). However the principles of the fellow functioning at SMO level for the majority of shifts will still apply.

Each bed space is equipped to provide either Intensive or High Dependency level care to both medical and surgical (post-operative) patients. Our service is strongly consultant-led and consultant ward rounds are performed three times a day on week days (8am, 4pm and 9pm) and twice a day during the weekend (8am and 9pm).
