Fees and allowances for statutory and other bodies

The fees and remuneration regime is set out as part of the Board Appointment and Induction Guidelines, although the actual classification and fees payable under the Cabinet Fees Framework are defined in the Cabinet Office Circular CO (09)5, dated 3 July 2009.  (See attached PDF file in the Resources section at bottom of this page.)

For advice on the interpretation and application of the Framework, please email the State Services Commission (State Sector Remuneration and Fees team) at: fees@ssc.govt.nz.

Note: Circular CO (09)5 replaced CO(06)8 on 3 July 2009. The modified framework covers all statutory bodies, non-statutory bodies and committees in which the Crown has an interest, that are outside the Remuneration Authority's or other fee setting bodies' jurisdiction. Such bodies comprise most Crown entities (including Crown Agents, Autonomous Crown Entities [ACEs] and tertiary education institutions), trust boards, advisory bodies and committees, Royal Commissions and Commissions of Inquiry, statutory tribunals, individuals appointed as statutory bodies that are not covered by the Remuneration Authority and some subsidiary bodies.
