News Update: Regulation of Chinese Medicine 

Our profession is now in the final steps in moving towards the establishment of the first Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand. 

On 20 September 2021 an Order in Council was made under the Legislation Act 2012 to designate the Chinese medicine profession (including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and tui na massage therapy) as a health profession and to establish the Chinese Medicine Council as the responsible authority.

Applications for members of the new Chinese Medicine Council are now being accepted until October 12th 2021. 

Further information can be found on the Ministry of Health’s website  if you are interested to apply. See the below link.
