The Wellington branch Ethics Committee performs a range of functions. Occasionally it is consulted by the branch itself as to ethical issues. More commonly, the branch refers local practitioners by whom it is contacted to the Committee in relation to such issues. When the Committee is consulted by local practitioners, it responds by providing a view (which has no formal status) in an attempt to assist the practitioner. Finally, the Committee organises irregular seminars in relation to ethical matters.
