Expectations

NZQA will acknowledge your query as soon as possible and aim to get you a response within a reasonable timeframe.

We usually respond to media queries within 2 working days. This depends on how detailed and complex your query is.

If your deadline is sooner than this, please advise us when you make initial contact. We will do our best to get you the information you have requested before the deadline.

Queries about data and statistics

Most requests for data require us to build a custom query to get information from our databases.

We hold records for hundreds of thousands of students, so this process can take longer than 2 working days.

Please keep this in mind when you make your request.

Official Information Act

Sometimes it would be better to treat your query as a request under the Official Information Act.
