THE MEDICAL COUNCIL OF NEW ZEALAND

The Medical Council of New Zealand, a body corporate, is established under the provisions of the Medical Practitioners Act 1968, and has powers and functions relating to the registration and control of medical practitioners.

The Medical Register

The Medical Register contains the names, qualifications, and addresses of all persons who are registered as medical practitioners or who are conditionally registered as at 30 June of the year to which the register relates.

It does not contain entries relating to persons who have been granted either provisional or temporary certificates issued under the provisions of the Act.

Conditional Registration

A person who is conditionally registered may practise as a medical practitioner only in a hospital or institution approved by the Council.

Registration as a Medical Practitioner

A person who is registered as a medical practitioner (fully registered) may practise free of the restrictions placed a the person who is conditionally registered.

House Officer Service

Every person who is conditionally registered and who wishes to become registered as a medical practitioner must satisfy the Council that he or she has completed at least 12 months’ service as a house officer in a resident medical capacity in a hospital or institution approved by the Council for the purpose and that he or she has acquired experience of a kind approved by the Council or has otherwise acquired comparable experience.

Such approved experience must be not less than 12 months and include six months in medicine or its branches and six months in surgery or its branches. Experience in appointments which involve duties which are both medical and surgical may be claimed as half in medicine and half in surgery. Experience comparable to the foregoing may be accepted by the Council. Applicants wishing to rely on

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
