Establishment
The New Zealand Artificial Limb Service (NZALS) was established as the New Zealand Artificial Limb Board on 1 April 1990 pursuant to section 43(1) of the Social Welfare (Transitional Provisions) Act 1990. It inherited the responsibilities of the Artificial Limb Board (which was also known as the New Zealand Artificial Limbs Board), which was formed by the Rehabilitation Board pursuant to section 13 of the Rehabilitation Act 1941 in 1970.
The New Zealand Artificial Limb Board was renamed the New Zealand Artificial Limb Service in 2012.
