The Commission is always looking at how we can improve the quality and transparency of information on the public service. As part of this, we want to make sure people know when information will be available for them.

On this page you’ll find a provisional calendar for all the standard datasets we expect to publish over the next 6 months.

Please contact commission@publicservice.govt.nz with any queries.
