Ngā pou | principles are outlined in the Public Service Act 2020. No matter what role, agency or where you are in your journey, these principles guide how we work.

 

Kia ora, I’m Jo,

I’ve been in the Public Service for 5 years now and work in my region as a Community Advisor. I enjoy working with my community on the ground to understand their specific needs.

I know that no matter what role or agency I work in, the New Zealand Public Service principles are central to the way we as public servants deliver services and outcomes for New Zealanders.

Join me as I dive in deeper to learn about the 5 principles, and importantly, how they help to preserve public trust and confidence in our ability to serve current and future governments.
