Overseas Physiotherapist Seeking Advice on Working in New Zealand

Hi everyone!
I’m an HCPC-registered physiotherapist currently based in the UK, recently graduated with an MSc Physiotherapy (post-registration, taught).
I’m in the process of applying for registration with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand via the International Express Pathway.

I’d really appreciate insight from anyone who has:
– Recently moved to NZ as an overseas physio
– Found work (with or without sponsorship)
– Faced challenges getting interviews or offers

I’d love to know:
1️⃣ Are jobs genuinely available for new overseas physios?
2️⃣ Do employers help with visas?
3️⃣ Any tips for job hunting or networking once registered?
