NZIQS has branches in Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.  Local committees also organise activities in other areas throughout New Zealand.

The role of the branches is to:

• organise local seminars, site visits and social functions
• liaise with other industry groups in their area. 
• arrange for interviews for new MNZIQS members in their areas
• organise mentoring schemes for students
• appoint a board member to represent them at the Institute’s Council

 Each branch is run by a board of members. They are elected at the Branch Board AGM each year.
