About appointments to statutory bodies
The Department collects nominations, undertakes a short-listing of candidates and recommends suitable candidate(s) to the relevant Minister who will select their preferred appointee(s). Final decisions are approved by Cabinet.
If you are interested in serving on a statutory body, the Department recommends that you register with one of the following nominating agencies:
- Ministry for Women: Advice and Information and Nominations Service
- Te Puni Kōkiri: Governance and Appointments
- Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs: Nominations
- Ministry for Ethnic Communities: Nominations Database
Registering with a nominating agency does not mean your name will be put forward automatically to Ministers, as agencies select suitable candidates to forward for consideration based on the appointment criteria.
Current calls for nominations for appointment to a statutory body can be found at: Recent Announcements and Appointments (below)
Please note that:
- Cabinet has agreed that Ministers should not generally appoint public servants to statutory bodies but that there may be special circumstances in which employees of Public Service departments can be appointed. Further information is provided in the State Services Commission’s Board Appointment and Induction Guidelines (see page 16), and Cabinet Office circulars CO (02) 5: Appointment of Public Servants to Statutory Board, and CO (19) (1) especially paragraphs 76-78).
