The Board has been made aware that the publication of its supervision policy and the documented levels of supervision required, has created several questions around its implementation. The Board’s understanding is that these questions are regarding those practitioners registered in training scopes. The Board is currently considering this matter and will provide further advice to the sector regarding implementation of the policy in due course.

The Board wishes to advise that in the interim, the status quo i.e., the level of supervision required before the policy was released, for those in “trainee scopes” remains.

Practitioner Registration

Step 1 of 10

Please note - you must provide a duly completed application form, along with fee payment, before the Medical Radiation Technologists Board will consider your application.

A completed New Zealand application may include any number of the following documents:

  • Certified copy of your qualification certificate(s)
  • Two certificates of good character
  • One passport-style photograph
  • Evidence of name change
  • A criminal conviction notice that is no more than six months old issued by the Ministry of Justice.
  • A criminal conviction notice that is no more than six months old from each country you have lived and worked in for more than 12 months.

In addition to the above, overseas trained applicants may need to provide any number of the following documents:

  • Official academic transcript
  • Clinical logbook
  • Full course curriculum (in English)
  • Thesis/dissertation
  • A letter from professional accreditation body confirming accreditation/recognition of the programme of study you completed for registration or license to practice.
  • Clinical experience form
  • Evidence of registration and certificate of good standing from each registration authority you are registered with overseas
  • Certificate of employment from each employer you have had in the last 5 years
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Evidence of meeting the English language requirements (e.g. IELTS exam results)

In addition to the above, if you are applying for registration in a trainee scope of practice, you will need to provide the following information:

  • Evidence of enrolment in a Board-approved training course
  • The clinical site where you will be undertaking your training
  • Name of your supervisor

These documents are a legal requirement and provision of them is non-negotiable.
