Join our team
Wellness together – In work & life
At Amberley Medical Centre (AMC), we believe great healthcare starts with great people. We are a tight-knit, supportive team who put our patients and our community at the heart of everything we do. If you’re a medical professional looking for meaningful work, strong interpersonal connections, and a balanced lifestyle, we’d love to hear from you.
In Māori culture, "our mountain, our river" is a fundamental part of a pepeha, a traditional way of introducing oneself that highlights connections to the land.

Why work with us?
Patient-Focused Care
Our enrolled population of 6,000 patients reflects the diversity and strength of our rural community. We’re proud to provide high-quality, compassionate care for our community.
Our patient demographic is diverse; from individuals to families, babies to the elderly, some our families have been with us for generations. We service our three local rest homes and work closely with the local pharmacy, gym and physio.
Our region is surrounded by wineries, farms and logging operations, we support these organisations with our PRIME care trained doctors and nurses, modern triage room and in house minor surgery specialty. We also regularly support the St Johns Ambulance service.
At AMC, you’ll be supported to practice with purpose.
