The New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists (NZCCP) is a professional association for clinical psychologists in New Zealand.

History

[edit]

The college was established in August 1989,[3][4] breaking away from the New Zealand Psychological Society.[5] The college formed in order to promote and coordinate for the profession of Clinical Psychology.[3] By 2004, the college had grown to 450 members.[5]

Ethics

Members of the society are signatories to the Code of Ethics for Psychologists Working in Aotearoa/New Zealand, which was established in 2002 due to the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003.[6][7] Prior to the establishment of the code, each individual professional association for psychologists in New Zealand had their own code of ethics.[8]
