Webinar: Who regulates the regulator?

  • Dates: 25 – 25 Aug, 2026

The Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA) is undergoing amendment, with significant changes proposed that could fundamentally alter the historical independence of healthcare regulators, including the Medical Council.

These proposed changes could impact every registered healthcare professional in New Zealand. To help you understand what is being proposed, what it could mean for clinicians, and how you can make a submission should you choose to, we have assembled a panel of experts to share their insights and answer your questions.
