The big idea

“I am done waiting for the government to tell me what my value is. Instead, I will show them.”

The Nurselink founder, a practising primary care nurse prescriber in New Zealand

Nurses want fairer pay, safer staffing and more flexible rosters. After six years in primary care, our founder stopped waiting and started contracting, the way most GPs in New Zealand already work.

Clinics and hospitals already pay agencies for nurses, and the agency takes a considerable cut. Nurselink cuts out the middleman, so nurses set their own rates and employers put the savings back into their people.
