The New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective (NZPC) is a New Zealand-based organisation that supports the rights of sex workers and educates prostitutes about minimizing the risks of the job. It was founded in 1987 with funding from the health department. It has been credited with controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS in New Zealand.
