The transition was initiated by the conclusion of the long-standing public–private partnership established through the EEO Trust in 1992. With the government’s withdrawal from this partnership, the governance model of Diversity Works New Zealand became unsustainable and required a structural reset.

This presented us with a timely opportunity to evolve into a new entity with deeper cultural alignment and a clearer vision for our future role.

Te Uru Tāngata reflects that vision. It signals our broader commitment to fairness, connectedness, and cultural responsiveness and strengthens our ability to lead workplace inclusion in Aotearoa for decades to come.

Your existing membership has automatically transferred to Te Uru Tāngata Centre for Workplace Inclusion.

There’s no need to reapply and all your membership details, including your renewal month and history of engagement, remain intact. Your membership continues seamlessly under the new entity.

No immediate action is required.

We will invite all members to confirm or update their contact details and communication preferences to ensure we stay connected.

In the meantime, please take note of our new website address and make sure to whitelist our email domain to avoid missing important updates.

Your core benefits remain unchanged — including access to training, resources, events, and advisory services.

As part of our transition, we’ve refreshed how our services are packaged to offer more flexibility and better alignment with the needs of our members. When your membership is up for renewal, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a service package that best fits your current context.

Your membership continues seamlessly from your previous Diversity Works New Zealand membership. There are no changes to your billing cycle, and no additional fees associated with the transition.

We have refreshed our membership structure to offer greater clarity and flexibility. When your renewal is due, you’ll be rolled over into a plan that aligns with your current membership and you’ll have the opportunity at that time to explore other options if a different plan better suits your needs.

All membership data has been securely transferred to Te Uru Tāngata systems as part of the transition.

An updated privacy policy, reflecting the new entity, will be published on our website. Your data continues to be handled with the same care, confidentiality, and integrity as before.

Yes, your login details remain the same. You’ll now access the Member Portal via our new website, but your username and password have not changed. 

All existing agreements, event bookings, and service commitments will be honoured under Te Uru Tāngata. You do not need to re-sign anything unless otherwise notified.

Any unpaid Diversity Works New Zealand invoices also remain valid and payable under the same terms.

The Diversity Works New Zealand brand has been formally retired, and our online presence has transitioned to the new Te Uru Tāngata website.

We’ll update all resources with the new branding as they come up for scheduled review. Legacy documents will be retained in our archive to honour the history and evolution of our work.

Yes, our email addresses are transitioning to the new @workplaceinclusion domain, so you may notice updated contact details in our communications.

Our main phone lines and office location remain the same, and you can continue to reach us as you always have. We’ll ensure a smooth transition and messages sent to our previous email addresses will continue to reach us in the meantime.
