Maybe you could have it both ways, have your cake etc.
At a glance it would appear that in NZ they glide under the same system as
ours, but you can get a "proper" CAANZ licence too.

If glider pilots want their license to be recognized internationally, they
have to be prepared to undergo the yearly medicals ( over 40) at a cost of
probably $300 in a licensed clinic.Not just your GP. ( anyway that's the way
it is in Europe) It is a very thorough medical with a large number of older
pilots failing.
If you want to fly in Europe , France is the best place. Nicest to fly and
relatively easy for UK and Aussie pilots. I know of 2 airfields that help the
most, Serres with Klaus Ollman and Sisteron-Vaumeilh.
