Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

Recently, Pulse results were released for 2022 where all of the data is aggregated into a single result for the organisation or broken down by service.

1) I am requesting the Pulse results for the CIVILIAN rank bracket.

Additionally, a past defence review calculated that military personnel receive a number of additional benefits (over and above civilian employees) – the value of these additional benefits is approximately 35% over base remuneration. The margin is 31% if clothing is excluded. In $ terms, excluding clothing, this has been calculated at $23,000 per annum. (Defence review 2009)

This study lead to civilianisation of the military in 2000+ positions, intended to save $46 mil.
2) Have any similar reviews been carried out post the Defence white paper 2016, if so could you please provide a copy?
3) Whether a review has been carried out have or not what is the current calculated value of the “additional benefits” that military personnel receive?

Yours faithfully,

Paul
