Why this exists
Doctors' pay in New Zealand is not secret. Every figure is written into a signed collective agreement that anyone can download. Recruitment agencies know this — and still put the numbers behind a lead form so they can call you later.
doctorpay reads the agreements so you don't have to, and links every number to the clause it came from. No signup. No form. No commission. If a figure isn't in a signed document, it isn't here.
