Reliable GP Locum Cover in
New Zealand for Medical Practices
Remedi provides experienced, NZ-registered GP locums to medical practices nationwide.
Whether you require short-term leave cover or ongoing sessional support, we deliver reliable, professional GP locum cover tailored to your practice needs. Supporting clinics across both North and South Island regions.
When Clinics Need GP Locum Cover
Medical practices across New Zealand engage GP locum cover for a range of operational and clinical reasons. Annual leave, unexpected illness, recruitment gaps, parental leave, and sustained demand can all place pressure on permanent teams. In rural and hard-to-staff locations, workforce shortages can create additional strain. Reliable locum support helps maintain patient access, protect staff wellbeing, and preserve continuity of care.
How Our GP Locum Process Works
Once you contact Remedi with your required dates and session details, we identify suitable NZ-registered GPs aligned to your clinical needs and practice environment. The majority of our doctors are Fellows of the RNZCGP and meet strict professional and compliance standards. We coordinate confirmation and practical arrangements efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
Onsite and Telehealth Options
We provide both onsite GP locum cover and telehealth support depending on your practice model. Onsite locums integrate directly into your team and systems, while telehealth options can support overflow demand or supplement service delivery in regions experiencing workforce shortages.
Why Continuity Matters
Where possible, we prioritise continuity by supporting regular service providers for practices with recurring needs. Familiarity improves patient confidence, reduces orientation time, and enhances clinical safety. Our approach is relationship-based, focused on long-term stability rather than one-off placements.
