Answer

I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand disestablished 128 roles in December 2023 due to organisational change. The total cost of redundancies associated with this change was approximately $3,015,257. In March 2025, 163 roles were disestablished, for which the total cost of redundancies was $2,671,615.
