The New Zealand Sexual Health Society (NZSHS) is a group of professionals working or interested in the field of sexual health. The NZSHS was established for educational and charitable purposes within New Zealand. To support its educational objectives, NZSHS organizes an annual conference, which includes an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an academic programme.

The NZSHS is committed to developing the sexual health workforce in Aotearoa/New Zealand by offering scholarships to the annual conference. The objective is to promote the participation, skills-building and visibility of scholarship recipients who might not otherwise be able to attend.
