As of September 30 2025, national access to the Cochrane Library in New Zealand will no longer be available.

This means that free access to the full content of the Cochrane Library for residents of New Zealand will end on that date. We understand this change may affect your ability to continue using the Cochrane Library in the same way, and we are committed to supporting you through this transition.

What this means for you:

• After, September 30 2025you may lose access to the latest full-text Cochrane Reviews, the CENTRAL database, and other premium content unless you have access through a personal or institutional subscription.

What you can do:

• If you are affiliated with an institution (such as a university or hospital), check if they provide access to the Cochrane Library or speak to your librarian about requesting access.
• You may also consider a personal subscription or explore other options for continued access. We’re happy to provide guidance.
