Why do so many Irish physiotherapists choose to move to New Zealand? Over the past decade, the highest number of New Zealand work visas for Irish citizens went to physiotherapists, with 444 work visas granted since 2009. Why do you think there are so many Irish physiotherapists in New Zealand? It costs patients the equivalent of €17 for a 30-minute physiotherapy consultation in Queenstown Physiotherapy, where I work. Irish physiotherapists tend to fare quite well here because there are plenty of opportunities for newly graduated and experienced physios to hone our skills in supportive environments with experienced colleagues.
