New Zealand
In New Zealand, assisted reproduction is governed under the HART Act 2004 through advisory and ethics committees (ACART and ECART), with clinics accredited via RTAC. Public funding is available through Health New Zealand, subject to clinical priority criteria.
How care is organised
Fertility care in New Zealand is delivered by accredited clinics. Public funding is available through Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora), prioritised using clinical priority criteria and factors such as age, duration of infertility, BMI, and smoking status. These thresholds change, so confirm current criteria; private treatment is also available.
Regulation and finding a clinic
Governance is under the HART Act 2004, which established ACART (advisory) and ECART (ethical approval of applications). Clinics are accredited through RTAC, part of the Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand. Note that New Zealand’s official HART Register is about donors and donor-conceived people, not a directory of clinics.
