To give members a choice of representation. Doctors have the ability to join an organisation that's truly independent, not one selected by the Government or your employer. (See our membership fees for the comparative rates.)
All hospital doctors, doctors in private practice, salaried doctors, and self-employed doctors. You're welcome to join whether you're an employee, practice owner or contractor.
We provide cover New Zealand-wide. We endeavour to provide in-person support where practicable; if we're unable to, we'll assist with your issues via video conference or phone call.
No. NZMPS is an incorporated society run by doctors. It provides employment support, advocacy and indemnity protection, without the politics.
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.
Yes. The Employment Relations Act 2000 gives you the freedom to choose whether to join a union, and which one. You don't need your employer's permission, and your employer can't pressure you to join or not join. If your workplace already has a collective agreement negotiated by another union, what applies to you depends on that agreement and your employment agreement, so talk to us before you decide.

Member disputes
Member Disputes
We pride ourselves on being able to provide quality member-to-member dispute representation, a membership perk often not found with our competitors. We provide both parties to a dispute with quality representation, and if necessary we also refer matters to third-party legal representatives to protect the privacy of each member.
