Psychologists Board
The Board's main purpose is to protect the health and safety of the New Zealand public through the registration of psychologists who meet the registration requirements established under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003, and through the management of competence , conduct, and fitness matters concerning psychologists. The maintenance of an accurate Register of Psychologists is one of the Boards key responsibilities.
The Board's website will be redesigned and rebuilt in 2010/2011. In the interim we have simplified entry to the website through this home page.
Our What's New column (left) features the latest updates of interest to the profession.

Register of Psychologists - You can check here to find out if a practitioner is registered as a psychologist in New Zealand. Please contact the Board if you are aware of someone who does not appear on the Register but who is practising as a psychologist in New Zealand. The Register also includes information about;
- Each practitioner’s qualifications and date of registration.
- The scope(s) of practice in which a practitioner is currently registered.
- Whether or not a practitioner holds a current practising certificate (and can therefore legally practise as a psychologist in New Zealand).
- Any conditions on a practitioner’s practice.
Please contact us if you have questions or concerns after viewing the Register. Please note however that we cannot provide any further personal information about a psychologist (e.g., contact details). In order to locate a psychologist in your area, please check the Yellow Pages or contact the New Zealand Psychological Society or the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists.
