Careerforce is no longer involved with pay equity.
All information regarding pay equity is available on Te Whatu Ora’s website.
For any questions, please contact Te Whatu Ora.
IMPORTANT
Employees can still achieve pay equity via qualifications:
As part of the implementation of the 2017 Care and Support Workers pay equity settlement, the Ministry of Health tasked Careerforce with responsibility for determining qualification equivalencies. This was for the purposes of pay equity only, and did not result in the awarding of the actual qualification. This was an objective exercise that compared learning outcomes for the assessed qualification, against the learning outcomes for the New Zealand Certificate in Health & Wellbeing, Level 2 – 4.
Final outcomes (as at 31 March 2020) from all qualification assessment applications are listed on the Te Whatu Ora website.
No further assessments are being completed. Any enquiries relating to pay equity qualification equivalencies should be directed to Te Whatu Ora.
