2. How many staff had their employment terminated at Auckland City Council due to
vaccination requirement during this timeframe as well?
From Tuesday 5 April 2022, vaccine passes were no longer required at Auckland Council’s
sites and facilities. In accordance with our Privacy Act 1993 obligations which set out how
agencies collect, use, disclose, store and give access to personal information, Auckland
Council made the decision to purge all vaccine related information from employee files
because the information was no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected
and used. This request is therefore under s 17(e) of the Local Government (Official
Information and Meetings) Act 1987 refused as the information does not exist.
The decision by Auckland Council to release the information contained in this response was
made by
Pauline d'Unienvil e, General Manager People and Culture.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of this response by the Ombudsman.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
