The activities of the Auckland Medical Aid Trust are governed by legislation - various statutes, statutory regulations, and public and private acts available free via the Internet at http://www.legislation.govt.nz. Public access to legislation (the PAL project) is provided through a government website. The Charities Act (2005) introduces a new body - the Charities Commission for the registration and monitoring of charities in New Zealand.
