Women mainly affected in planned Doc cuts

By Kate Green of RNZ 

The Department of Conservation is currently in the process of consulting its staff regarding potential job cuts that could affect 84 positions, mainly held by women. This proposal is in response to the government’s requirement to reduce spending by 6.5%, with previous announcements already indicating a loss of 68 roles and another proposal from last year suggesting a reduction of 130 positions.

Mike Tully, Doc’s deputy director-general for organisation support, mentioned that the agency is exploring ways to streamline support functions through the implementation of new technology and simpler systems to alleviate the administrative burden on employees. The current proposal could impact a total of 168 roles, with 149 positions in support functions facing disestablishment, 18 of which are currently vacant, and 19 facing changes in reporting lines. However, 65 new roles are slated to be created, resulting in a net loss of 84 positions.

Tully emphasized Doc’s commitment to efficiency and conservation efforts, stating, “Doc is always looking at how we can be more agile, working better to make the biggest difference for conservation we can, while finding efficiencies within the context of fiscal and environmental challenges.” He also highlighted that health and safety remain a top priority for the department and assured that the consultation process includes collaboration with employees and the PSA union while respecting the privacy of those potentially affected.

Despite the disproportionate impact on women, Tully clarified that gender was not a factor in decision-making, noting the department’s dedication to maintaining a diverse workforce. However, the PSA union expressed concerns over the significant number of women affected by the proposed cuts, particularly following the cancellation of a pay equity claim just two weeks prior. The job losses are anticipated to occur by July 2026 and will affect staff across 38 locations nationwide.

Fleur Fitzsimons, the national secretary of the PSA union, warned that the reduction in support staff could lead to increased health and safety risks, as remaining employees would have to take on additional responsibilities. She also raised issues regarding affected workers on lower pay bands competing for part-time roles within the organization. Fitzsimons emphasized the potential impact of continued funding constraints on Doc’s projects and New Zealand’s natural environment.
