- Sets the ethical standards for the advertising and promotion of non-prescription consumer healthcare products in New Zealand.
- Communicates the regulations around advertising and promotion; highlighting what is and isn’t acceptable.
- Ensures that we maintain a consistently high level of integrity both as individual members and as a joint collective.
- Encompasses both below-the-line promotional material aimed at consumers and marketing directed at healthcare professionals.
- Covers the fine print around administration, complaint procedures, sanctions, right of appeal, and monitoring of advertising.
- Is monitored by the CHPNZ Marketing and Ethics subcommittee.
