Te Kōwhiringa o Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa 2024 | The Medical Council of New Zealand election 2024

Council has an important role in protecting public safety by setting standards for the medical profession and ensuring that doctors are competent and fit to practise.

We are looking for four outstanding doctors to serve on the governance body of the Council, working with us on governance matters related to maintaining the high standards expected of the medical profession and ensuring public health and safety. Council decisions are often difficult and require considerable thought and sound judgement. The issues are important, both to the public and the profession.

If you are a registered doctor, and interested in ensuring high professional standards, then we encourage you to put your name forward, or consider nominating one of your colleagues who you think has the skills and experience needed.

All registered doctors should have received an email or letter with information about the upcoming election, including how to make a nomination, the criteria for standing, and details about the responsibilities and time commitments of members.

Council elections are about building a strong Council that the public, government and medical profession can have confidence in, so please read through it and consider putting yourself forward.

 Any registered doctor who resides in New Zealand can make a nomination at Electionz.com – the organisation Council has commissioned to run the online election and nominations process. Nominations close on 19 January 2024.

We will be in touch in the new year about voting dates.
