Please consider taking time to complete the questionnaire from Medical Council in regards to the regulation of physician associates (PAs) in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is open to all - internationally as well!

In April 2025, the Minister of Health announced that PAs would be regulated in Aotearoa New Zealand, and that the Council would be the regulator of PAs. This responsibility is now set in legislation. Council is inviting feedback on proposals for how PAs should be regulated in Aotearoa New Zealand.
