Te Mahere Mahi mō te Rerekē o Ngā Utu i te Māori, Te Moananui-a-Kiwa me Ngā Mātāwaka Māori Pacific and Ethnic Pay Gaps Work Plan
The Public Service is stepping up efforts to close Māori, Pacific and ethnic pay gaps. Progress in the last four years for women and Māori show it is possible to make significant progress with targeted, comprehensive and coordinated actions across the system. The same can be done for Pacific, ethnic, disabled and Rainbow communities, while maintaining momentum for Māori, and all wāhine.
Aronga matua rautaki Strategic focus areas
To accelerate closing Māori, Pacific and ethnic pay gaps, Te Whakapiri has developed strategic focus areas and a work plan that illustrates connections and new initiatives in particular areas across the Public Service. The three strategic focus areas are:
Hononga | Partnerships
Partnering for greater impact
We will build strong and authentic partnerships with wāhine Māori, Pacific women and women from ethnic communities creating greater collective impact.
Whakahiato Umanga | Career Progression
Lifting accountability across the system
We will support our kaitiaki to grow and develop to their full potential. By lifting accountability across the system, we can ensure workforce and career development programmes improve outcomes for women, Māori, Pacific and ethnic communities.
Parongo | Information
Building understanding of pay gap drivers
We will grow our data to build understanding about drivers of Public Service pay gaps, making sure it is visible, available and used. We will weave this with the voices of wāhine, Māori, Pacific, ethnic, Rainbow and disability communities to inform our work.

Mahere Mahi | Workplan
The strategic focus areas aim to show connectivity across the Public Service to achieve Kia Toipoto outcomes and focuses on deliberate action and targeted approaches for our wāhine, Māori, Pacific and ethnic communities. It recognises intersectionality and the divergence of identities in this space and are inclusive of gender, tāngata whaikaha Māori, disabled peoples and members of Rainbow communities.
This mahi strategically aligns with Papa Pounamu and complements the Disability and Rainbow four-point-plans.
