The 2012/2013 APC renewal notice has just been mailed out to all current APC holders. We encourage all practitioners to renew no later than mid-March to ensure there are no delays or complications. We also hope most will choose to use the Board's online application option as it is faster, simpler, and helps keep the Board's costs down.

The Ministry of Justice is currently conducting a review of the Family Court, which is facing a number of issues that compromise its ongoing sustainability and effectiveness. The Ministry believes that reform of the Court is necessary so that it can manage the ongoing fiscal pressures and improve its efficiency. More information is available on the Ministry's website at www.justice.govt.nz/policy/justice-system-improvements/family-court-review. The closing date for submissions is Wednesday, 29 February 2012.

The Ministry of Health will be conducting a review of the HPCA Act beginning in early 2012. It is anticipated that a discussion paper will be published in March, followed by a round of consultation workshops in the major cities later in the year. This review differs from the review initiated in 2008 in that it will consider the philosophy, assumptions, and principles underpinning the Act. The Board encourages all stakeholders to monitor and contribute to this process, as it has the potential to fundamentally alter the current approach to regulation of the profession.
