Ko wai mātou? | Who are we?
Creative New Zealand (the Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa) is the national arts development agency. We encourage, promote and support the arts in New Zealand for the benefit of all New Zealanders. We do this by investing in, developing, advocating for and providing leadership in the arts for the benefit of all New Zealanders. We’re funded by the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board and directly from the Government through Vote: Arts, Culture and Heritage.
We’re advancing strategies to support and develop ngā toi Māori and Pacific arts and are committed to ensuring the preservation of heritage ngā toi Māori and Pacific arts knowledge. It’s an exciting time for us as we’re exploring what Te Tiriti o Waitangi means for us as an organisation and our work with the arts sector.
Creative New Zealand is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Kia Toipoto (Public Service Pay action plan)
Creative New Zealand is a small organisation with less than 20 employees in each comparative group of employees [male, Māori, Pacific or ethnic] and we are therefore unable to calculate and publish statistically robust gender or ethnic pay gaps. However, we are committed to gender and ethnic pay equity. Creative New Zealand has a Remuneration Policy that guides equitable remuneration practices, and employee remuneration is reviewed annually in accordance with this policy.
