Coming to NZ to Work?

Students that have completed their Optometry degree overseas should contact the New Zealand Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians Registration Board first, to enquire about eligibility of their qualification as being suitable for registration in New Zealand. Should your qualification not be suitable, it is possible for optometrists with certain degrees in Optometry to sit a competency examination conducted by the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand, (contact website: www.ocanz.org). Alternatively, overseas students may complete the four-year BOptom degree, for which credit may be given for previous study.
