Public sector composition
Occupations, workforce size, regional workforce and long-term trends.
The data we collect gives us information about leadership in the Public management, public servant remuneration/pay, diversity and inclusion and Māori Crown engagement and understanding, as well as public sector composition. It provides important insights into the make-up and composition of the Public Service and ensures our ongoing work builds the Public Service of the future.
The Public Service needs employees with the right mix of knowledge and skills to meet government priorities, provide trusted and responsive services, and deliver the best outcomes possible. It’s important that the Public Service reflects and understands the communities we serve.
Year-to-date information on total workforce size and spend on contractors and consultants is available on a quarterly basis here:
