Australian Permanent Residents (PR holders) do not have automatic work rights in New Zealand. Unlike Australian citizens, who can live and work freely there under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, PR holders must obtain a separate visa or work permit. Some pathways, like employer sponsorship or work visas, may allow Australian PR holders to work in New Zealand. It’s essential to check New Zealand Immigration’s specific requirements before planning employment, as Australian PR only grants work rights within Australia, not New Zealand.
