International Office staff survey
FRS made this Official Information request to Victoria University of Wellington
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for FRS to read recent responses and update the status.
From: FRS
Dear Victoria University of Wellington,
Kia ora,
I understand that in 2024 the Your Voice staff wellbeing survey was completed by all university staff. Following this survey, an independent reviewer was brought in to investigate the results specifically within the International Office (IO, or WUI).
This independent review was completed around September 2024. I am curious about any actions that are coming out of this review. I am also interested in the University’s plans to revisit either the survey or the review to establish whether staff concerns have been adequately addressed.
Under the OIA, please provide any documents (including, but not limited to, memos, reports, or briefings) that reference the outcome of both the Your Voice survey and independent review or any actions that will be taken in response.
Please also provide copies of correspondence (including, but not limited to, emails, Teams messages, text messages, and WhatsApp messages) sent to (including Cc’d correspondence) or sent from members of the IO team and University senior leadership about the outcome of the survey and review or any actions that will be taken in response to the survey and review.
Please include correspondence sent, received, or created between June 2024 and today.
If you need any clarification about this request, or have concerns about the amount of information that may be in scope, please consult with me in the first instance.
Yours faithfully,
N.B.

I am emailing in relation to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) of 6
November 2025.
The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision by 30 working days to 9 February 2026.
This extension is necessary because:
o your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably
interfere with our operations
o consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available
at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact us.
