It is hard to believe it’s already time to write the final newsletter as 2022 comes to a close.

It has been another busy and at times difficult year for you all and we hope you are now focused on enjoying well-deserved breaks over the holiday season, filled with friends, family and much relaxation.

We’ll still be here to support your needs across the holiday season, with limited staffing from 24^th December 2022 and full availability from 9^th January 2023, so do keep those queries coming in as you need. Email us at business@mas.co.nz or call 0800 800 627 during usual business hours.

Happy Holidays everyone from Shaun, Fiona, Chris, Bryce, and Bonnie.

Major Changes to NZ Employment Law: What Employers Need to Know in 2026

Something we have been hearing lots from our members is how do we stay on top of these changes that seem to be popping up in the news? Are there things we need to do right now? What are the actual impacts in terms we understand? Significant reforms to New Zealand’s employment landscape have now taken effect, with more changes on the horizon. From high‑income dismissal rules to a full rewrite of the Holidays Act, these updates reshape the rights, responsibilities, and relationships between employers and workers.

2026 Off to a Flying Start

As we lament the end of the holidays and ask ourselves where has summer gone?!, we’re also looking ahead to another busy year — particularly given the volume of legislative change expected in 2026 (more on this below). We’re pleased to welcome Emma Wasson to the Healthy Practice team, who joined us in January in the newly created role of HR Coordinator-Healthy Practice. Emma will be focused on supporting our HealthyPractice Advisers and strengthening the resources available to you. She’ll also be involved in developing our annual reports, including the staff-ratio and GP remuneration reports, due out early this year.

Happy Holidays

As we approach the end of the calendar year, we’d like to thank our Subscribers and MAS Members for your continued support of the Healthy Practice service and team. It has certainly been another busy year. Throughout 2025, we’ve seen the matters coming through become increasingly complex and varied, alongside a noticeable increase in change activity across the health and practice sectors. This year has also brought change for us, with the retirement of the much-respected and one-of-a-kind Shaun Phelan and Fiona Mines, as well as broader change across MAS.
