Hi,
I have been in NZ for more than 10 years and always had a job.
Am lucky that my employer pays for the APC.

Generally, as you can also read in other threads, since the latest changes in November 2009, the job situation is really bad.
Have heard that even in "not so desirable" areas, there is currently up to 50 people applying for 1 new grad rotational position, of which ~80% are Physios with massive amounts of experience, who cannot get jobs in private practices after being made redundant ...

Sorry, looks quite grim here ....

Regards,
Fyzzio
