Answer

I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand had a total of 359 vacancies as at 31 December 2022. WorkSafe advises that the higher number of vacancies relative to other years reflects an organisational change process underway during late 2022, which affected how positions were created, held open, or phased out.
