The College recognises that health providers working in a variety of settings provide sexual and reproductive healthcare services. As such, we offer a range of membership types, including Fellowship for specialist doctors in this scope. Information on each type of membership can be found on the separate category pages.
Fellowship
Only available for doctors eligible for vocational registration with MCNZ in the Family Planning and Reproductive Health scope.
Associate
Open to any health practitioner, including doctors, nurse and midwives practising in the area of sexual and reproductive health, including abortion care.
Affiliate
Open to anyone with an interest in the area of sexual and reproductive health.
Applications for Advanced Training for Fellowship are not currently open.
Application for Associate or Affiliate membership can be made via the application form for membership on the relevant category page. Details of current employment, professional status and references will be required for Associate membership. References will be required for Affiliate membership.
Fellowship will be granted to those meeting the criteria either through Advanced Training, completion of the old Diploma in Sexual and Reproductive Health, or through assessment of prior learning according to the IMG and recognition of prior learning policies. These applications are processed by the Educational Advisory Committee.
All membership categories are regulated in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Trust Board. Associate members must demonstrate ongoing work in SRH and CPD to retain Associate membership or change to Affiliate membership if no longer meeting these requirements.
