Thank you for your email of 3 April 2026 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:
I would like to make a request for the INZ organisational chart which includes names and email
address for all staff.
Our Response
Please find the attached appendix containing the Immigration New Zealand organisational chart.
We always strive to be as open and transparent as possible about our organisation, but we have to
balance that with protecting our people and New Zealand.
Please note that, consistent with the Government’s Protective Security Requirements, we have
withheld the names of staff below Tier 5 and al email addresses under section 6(a) of the Act where
information would be likely to prejudice the security or defence of New Zealand or the international
relations of the Government of New Zealand. MBIE takes its protective security responsibilities
seriously, which includes protecting our people. We have released the names of senior managers
above Tier 5 to enable appropriate public scrutiny as a government agency.
In determining our approach to the threats our people face, we are guided by information on New
Zealand’s Security Threat Environment, which can be found on the linked page below.
New Zealand’s Security Threat Environment | New Zealand Security Intelligence Service
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
