About
The Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians Board is a statutory authority in New Zealand tasked with safeguarding public health by regulating the practice of optometrists and dispensing opticians. Operating under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003, the Board establishes and monitors competency standards, conducts registration and fitness‑to‑practice assessments, and enforces compliance to ensure practitioners are qualified and fit to deliver eye‑care services. Its core value proposition is maintaining high professional standards that protect patients while providing clear, supportive regulatory frameworks for practitioners.
