What this service covers
The Medical Radiation Technologists Board regulates all radiographers, radiation therapists, and nuclear medicine technologists practising in New Zealand. Registration with the MRTB is mandatory before you can work in any radiology capacity across New Zealand's public and private healthcare sectors.
Medisol assists Indian-trained radiographers through the complete MRTB registration process — from initial competence assessment and English language requirements to securing your Annual Practising Certificate (APC). We handle document verification, liaise with the board on your behalf, and ensure your application meets New Zealand's rigorous professional standards.
With over 12,000 healthcare professionals placed globally since 2012, we understand the specific requirements for radiographers seeking New Zealand registration and provide step-by-step guidance throughout your journey.

Frequently asked questions
How long does MRTB registration take?
The standard processing time is typically 8-12 weeks from submission of a complete application, though this can vary based on verification timelines from your university and registration authority. Applications requiring additional competence assessment may take longer. We monitor your application throughout and keep you updated on progress.
What English language scores are required?
MRTB requires IELTS Academic with minimum 7.0 in each component, or OET with minimum Grade B in each component. Results must be less than two years old at the time of application. We can advise on preparation resources and test booking.
Can I work in New Zealand while my application is being processed?
No, you cannot practise as a radiographer in New Zealand without full MRTB registration and an Annual Practising Certificate. You must wait until your registration is approved before commencing any clinical work.
What if my qualifications are not directly equivalent?
The MRTB assesses each application individually. If your qualification requires additional assessment, you may need to complete a competence programme or bridging courses. We'll review your credentials upfront and advise on the likely pathway and any additional requirements.
What are the costs involved in MRTB registration?
Costs include MRTB application fees, document verification charges from your university, English language test fees, attestation costs, and our service fee. We'll provide a detailed breakdown based on your specific requirements — contact us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote.
Do I need New Zealand work experience to get registered?
No, you do not need New Zealand work experience for initial registration. However, you must demonstrate relevant clinical competence from your home country. The MRTB assesses your qualifications and experience against New Zealand standards.
