About Us
An incorporated society, run by doctors, for doctors. NZMPS exists to protect and promote the interests of its members in matters concerning their employment or professional engagement.
Who we are
NZMPS (NZ Medical Professionals' United Incorporated) is an incorporated society providing immediate, apolitical employment support, advocacy and professional indemnity protection for doctors. Its principal purpose is to protect and promote the interests of members in matters concerning their employment or professional engagement. No membership fees are used to support any political party, so we are able to source and/or provide representation for all members, on all issues.
What being an incorporated society means
NZMPS is registered under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. It's run by its members under a written constitution, with elected officers, and reports to the Companies Office each year.
- Freedom of association. You choose whether to join a union, and which one.
- Representation. Our industrial advocates support you with workplace problems.
- Member control. Members elect their branch executive. The rules are in our constitution.
What we believe
NZMPS was formed by a group of doctors who wanted to provide an alternate voice. They had heard of the success of sister-organisations and wanted to join tens of thousands of other workers who had chosen independent representation under the NZ Unions banner. NZMPS supports:
- The primacy of the doctor/patient relationship, with Government bureaucrats being removed from the surgery room.
- Making it easier for doctors to speak out publicly.
- Resisting Government coercion.
- The ability to speak out about issues in health without fear of de-registration.
- Resisting Government mandates.
- Resisting Government agencies running roughshod over doctors in what they can prescribe and recommend.
NZMPS remains fully committed to defending your right to perform your work without unnecessary interference from Government bureaucrats, and respects the enormous amount of medical training undergone to achieve this right.
