The Pharmacy Council of New Zealand serves as the regulator responsible for pharmacists in the country. Its core aim is to protect public health by ensuring that pharmacists are competent and fit to practise. To achieve this, it sets registration standards, develops guidelines, authorises pharmacist registrations, and monitors ongoing competence while addressing concerns about competence, professional conduct, or health. Based in Wellington, it operates within the New Zealand pharmaceutical sector to oversee the practice of pharmacy and support safe patient care. In April 2026, reports noted a data breach that exposed workplace addresses, highlighting a public security concern and prompting responses from the council.
