Official Information Act (OIA) request: InsideOUT spend 
 
On 25 September 2023, you contacted Stats NZ requesting, under the Official Information 
Act 1982 (the Act), the fol owing information: 
“I note in this OIA, https://fyi.org.nz/request/22247-extract-of-accounts-payable-
summary-spend-information, INSIDEOUT KOARO was paid $27,183 by Statistics 
New Zealand for the 2021-22 year. 
 
What services were provided by InsideOut to Statistics New Zealand in relation to 
these payments? Where possible, please provide invoices or other supporting 
documentation.” 
Please find enclosed copies of invoices within scope of your request, which details the GST 
exclusive total amount that Stats NZ paid InsideOUT for the referenced period. 
 
Stats NZ is committed to the principles and practices of ensuring all people are provided with 
an equal opportunity to achieve their potential. As a national statistical organisation whose 
goal is to collect information about Aotearoa to benefit Aotearoa, we recognise the intrinsic 
value an inclusive environment can provide. When we support and grow a workforce that 
reflects the diversity of our country, we deepen the understanding of the communities we 
serve. Stats NZ also has commitments under the Public Service Papa Pounamu, which sets 
the diversity and inclusion work programme for the wider public service. 
 
In line with these commitments, Stats NZ engaged the services of InsideOUT to provide 
rainbow inclusivity workshops and consultation on developing our Workplace Rainbow 
Policy, Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People Policy, and Self-Determined Gender 
Transitioning Guidelines.   
 
The rainbow inclusivity workshops provided by InsideOUT, titled “Understanding Sexuality 
and Gender: Inclusivity in the workplace”, are part of our commitment to support our Rainbow 
employees and network. Each rainbow inclusivity workshop is: 
  •  4.5 hours long, held over one day 
•  delivered in-person in Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland, or online when 
available 
•  facilitated by InsideOUT staff, and

•  offered to all Stats NZ employees. 
 
The learning objectives of these rainbow inclusivity workshops include: 
  •  building knowledge and understanding of sexuality and gender diversity amongst 
Stats NZ 
•  enabling everyone to bring their best, whole self to work 
•  increasing the capabilities of Stats NZ employees to make informed decisions on 
policies and processes relating to sexuality and gender identity, and 
•  building a better understanding of rainbow issues and how they related to both staff 
and the public.  
 
For the period within scope of your request, 137 Stats NZ employees attended rainbow 
inclusivity workshops.  
 
Together with the workshops, the following Stats NZ policies were developed in consultation 
with InsideOUT: 
  •  Workplace Rainbow Policy 
•  Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People Policy, and 
•  Self-Determined Transitioning Guidelines. 
 
These policies and guidelines ensure all employees work in a harmonious and productive 
environment where diversity and inclusion are prioritised, respected, and embraced at Stats 
NZ in everything that we do.  
 
In particular, our Workplace Rainbow Policy ensures that employees and contractors who 
are part of rainbow communities are properly supported, valued, treated with respect, and 
are positively included in our organisational culture. Furthermore, our Supporting 
Transgender and Non-Binary People in the Workplace Policy and Self-Determined Gender 
Transitioning Guidelines provide practical information about how transgender and non-binary 
staff members, and those who are transitioning or affirming their self-determined gender, can 
be supported at Stats NZ.
