No. New Zealand is a separate nation and consists of two islands but is not a continent in itself.
Now the question is:
Does New Zealand belong to the continent of Australia and if not, which continent does it belong to ?
No, New Zealand is not on the same continental shelf as Australia and so is not part of the continent of Australia but is part of the submerged continent Zealandia and the wider region known as Oceania or Australasia.

New Zealand and Australia are separated by the Tasman Sea. New Zealand is sometimes referred to as part of Australasia, or Oceania, neither of which are continents, but are geographic or regional groups of countries. It is on the tectonic or continental plate of Zealandia, which is mostly under the ocean.
New Zealand is an independent country with its own history and culture. At no time in history has New Zealand ever been a part of Australia, even though New South Wales laws and jurisdiction applied to New Zealand briefly in 1840 when Britain annexed New Zealand.
