Te kupu whakataki Introduction
The Public Service Commission Te Kawa Mataaho (the Commission) leads the Public Service and supports agencies to work together to improve services and outcomes for New Zealand and its people.

Strong system leadership enables the Public Service to act as one system and focus on what matters most.
The Commission is required under the Public Finance Act 1989 to review its strategic intentions every three years. This document reflects the establishment of the Government Digital Delivery Agency within the Commission.
