New Zealand Acupuncture Standards Authority INC.
The NZ Acupuncture Standards Authority (NZASA) Inc is a standards-based registration authority committed to helping practitioners maintain standards of professional, ethical and clinical competency in acupuncture in NZ. NZASA was incorporated in 2000. It is a member-led organisation with an elected Executive and an employed Registrar. NZASA is one of two voluntary self-regulatory bodies which register acupuncturists in NZ. There is currently no national regulation of Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine) in NZ. NZASA was recognised in 2005 under the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) Act, and through that NZASA registered members are able to become ACC Treatment Providers. NZASA is the only acupuncture registration body in NZ that understands the importance of separating education and regulatory roles in keeping with the professional requirements of the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance (HPCA) Act. NZASA’s membership includes both local practitioners and practitioners from the UK, USA, Australia and further afield who have chosen to reside and practice in New Zealand. The membership is made up of practitioners who hold recognised qualifications in Acupuncture and/or Chinese Medicine, including diplomas, undergraduate, postgraduate and masters degrees.
