Kia ora - our offices are closed for the holidays from 23 December 2025 to 5 January 2026.

Please submit completed applications to us by Wednesday 17 December 2025 to allow for processing times before the holiday period.

Technical issue: we're experiencing a technical error on our practitioner portal which means anyone who's been asked to provide referee details as part of their application can't. Continue your application on the portal, and email msc@medsci.co.nz with your referees name and email details so we can contact them directly.

Recertification

Once you are registered and hold a current APC, you must engage in continuing professional development (CPD). CPD is a critical component of the Council’s recertification programme and provides a mechanism for supporting your practice to develop throughout your career. 

The Council’s recertification programme is established under section 41 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the Act).
