Acupuncture NZ Professional

Established in 1977, Acupuncture NZ is the largest professional body representing practitioners of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in New Zealand. A member of the World Federation of Acupuncture Societies (WFAS) we also have strong affiliations with acupuncture associations particularly in Australia but also in China, the United States, Britain and throughout Europe. Members have completed the equivalent of four years full-time training either in New Zealand or overseas, and have been accepted by ACC as Treatment Providers since 1990. Practitioners who have gained their qualification overseas are required to pass written and practical assessments. All members are bound by the Rules, Clinical Procedures and Safe Clinical Practice and Code of Professional Ethics of our organisation and are required to complete 20 hours continuing professional development (CPD) education and hold a current first aid certificate in order to maintain their Annual Practising Certificate. Whilst all members practice acupuncture, many are also experienced in Chinese Herbal Medicine and may combine both modalities in their daily practice. Members practise throughout the country in all the main centres and many rural areas. To find a practitioner go to www.acupuncture.org.nz Find a practitioner.
