PNZ Change Programme
The transition towards all of PNZ operating as a unified organisation followed a member vote to operate under the PNZ Rules announced at the 2018 PNZ Annual General Meeting. This led to PNZ Executive commitment to the Change Programme and it being a key priority for PNZ Office, the overarching purpose of which was to support all of PNZ to better service its members and the physiotherapy profession.
Branches and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) remain highly important and there has then been a staggered process of groups transitioning to the Rules and operating model with agreed Terms of Reference. As of June 2022 almost all Branches and SIGs have completed steps to transition to a united PNZ, and while our previous Hand Therapy SIG (NZAHT) is now a stand-alone organisation, consistent with international transdisciplinary hand therapy groups, we've maintained a working relationship with NZAHT.
