Answer

I am advised that, based on current Board composition, Ministerial appointments, and approved remuneration settings, WorkSafe New Zealand has forecasted $391,000 spend on Board renumeration for the 2026–2027 financial year. For the Remuneration Authority, the budgeted total remuneration is classified as an operational expense and is individually budgeted. This will be disclosed in the entity's annual report at the completion of the financial year.
