Osteopathic Council of New Zealand Performance Review Report
Under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the Act) introduced in 2019, all regulatory authorities are required to regularly undergo performance reviews overseen by the Ministry of Health. These reviews examine how effectively a given authority is working, particularly in regard to the statutory functions set out in section 118 of the Act.
The Osteopathic Council’s latest review under the Act took place in March 2026 and was conducted by BSI New Zealand. As the Osteopathic Council has registrar and secretariat services provided by the Nursing Council of New Zealand, both regulators undertook concurrent reviews.
The audit report has now been finalised, with the review concluding that the Council has “fully achieved all the core performance standards” and making no recommendations. The Council welcomes this outcome as reflecting positively on its overall performance.
The full audit report is available below, along with the previous report completed in 2021.
