The Voluntary Bonding Scheme is now accepting expressions of interest for the 2026 intake.

If you are a recent pharmaceutical graduate this may be for you.

You can register and view the criteria for pharmacists here: https://www.healthnz.govt.nz/health-professionals/workforce-development/training-and-career-development/start-career/voluntary-bonding-scheme/new-and-earlier-intakes

Registrations opened on 27 August 2026 and will close on 23 September 2026 at 5pm.

The scheme is designed to encourage newly qualified health professionals to work in the communities and settings where they are needed most, while also supporting them to stay in Aotearoa New Zealand.

There is also a meaningful financial incentive for eligible pharmacists who make that commitment.

This year’s intake is specifically targeted at pharmacies and primary care practices in rural and regional communities. The eligible areas cover rural and regional New Zealand and exclude the urban boundaries of Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

For newly registered pharmacist Susie Wong, that sense of trust and connection is at the heart of her work. After building her career in Malaysia and relocating to New Zealand, she has embraced the opportunity to expand her clinical scope while serving her Northland community.

Passionate about improving access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas, Susie believes pharmacists play a vital role in delivering fast, safe, and equitable care.
