Health Practitioner Reporting under section 92 of the Arms Act

The Arms Legislation Act 2020 requires Health Practitioners to consider notifying Police of health concerns related to their patient's firearms access.

A health practitioner is not liable to criminal, civil, or disciplinary proceedings by disclosing personal information in the course of performing any function or responsibility under section 92 of the Arms Act, as long as the practitioner acts in good faith.

More information for health practitioners is available on the Te Tari Pūreke website.
