Who we are, and what we do
Natural Fertility NZ (NFNZ) operates within the health sector to provide fertility education and support to its trainee & accredited educators. NFNZ also increases awareness on natural family planning methods and fertility awareness.
- Trains and certifies educators of natural family planning and fertility awareness
- Promotes and educates about fertility awareness and its use as a natural family planning method to the public
- Provides Continuing Medical Education to Doctors, Nurses & Midwives
- Cooperates with other bodies, nationally and internationally, in promoting an understanding of fertility and its use as a method of natural family planning
Natural Fertility is a registered charity with the Charities Commission, registration number CC24974.
NFNZ is a national Association of trained and continuously up-dated Fertility Educators who have undergone an extensive training programme in Natural Family Planning methods. Fertility Educators provide education on Fertility Awareness and teach Natural Family Planning to individuals, couples, medical and health professionals along with providing group education.
Our Fertility Educators generally come from a medical or health professional background. After a 12 month training programme that includes a clinical practice component, all Educators undergo a regular full clinical audit and are re-accredited to NFNZ annually. NFNZ is committed to the on-going training of its Educators through training days and monthly updates about medical advances and relevant scientific research.
NFNZ Educators hold clinics and/or provide home visits in most main centres throughout New Zealand and many also provide Skype consultations nationally and internationally for those clients living outside of serviced areas. Group Education is also provided throughout much of New Zealand.

Raising Awareness
Many women and couples are not aware that they can manage their fertility throughout their lifetime using natural family planning. You can support NFNZ by helping to raise awareness of fertility awareness methods, and by pointing people in the right direction if they have questions. Our educators would be happy to assist.
Some ways to raise awareness:
- Like us on facebook, and share our posts
- Refer your patients to the Find an Educator page on our website
- Display rack cards in your practice
- Upskill with one of our CME activities
- Become an educator
