Job on base
As a Medic, you will be trained in emergency care skills, diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Job on deployment
Medics are deployed overseas as required; there are very few exercises or operations where medical personnel are not required, allowing for many overseas opportunities.
You may find yourself working on peacekeeping operations, or with units deploying on exercise to the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji or Australia. Or even as part of a team instructing First Aid to personnel in Papua New Guinea, Samoa or Tonga.
Learning pathway
The NZDF is pleased to be partnering with Auckland University of Technology (AUT) to deliver training to our medics. This will see them studying towards a Level 6 Diploma in Paramedic Science and a Level 7 Graduate Certificate in Health Science.
These qualifications will be achieved through the completion of the Military Medical Technician, and NZDF Medic training programmes at Defence Health School.
