Te Akoranga a Māui The College's Māori representative group Te Akoranga a Māui is involved in every part of its work, from strategic level to operational level.

Chapters The college currently has four chapters based on major national areas of practice:
The Pacific Chapter Made up of members who identify as Pacific. It also welcomes members who serve communities with large Pacific populations or have interest in Pacific health issues.
Registrars’ and Affiliates’ Chapter The voice of registrars; GPEP1 seminar groups elect a representative. During GPEP2/3 a representative is elected from each learning group and one from Rural Hospital Medicine. The resulting committee works together to provide activities that support and represent registrars.
Rural General Practitioners’ Chapter What issues are facing rural practitioners? How can we put a ‘rural lens’ over the work of the College? What initiatives could improve the quality of rural training and general practice? Rural GPs have the opportunity to connect and collaborate to address these questions through the Chapter’s committees.
The Division of Rural Hospital Medicine This Chapter serves as a hub to define and improve the body of knowledge for this specialist field, while providing education and collegial support. All Division of Rural Hospital Medicine New Zealand members automatically belong to this Chapter. ==Membership==
