Who we are:

Working at the Department of Internal Affairs, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of New Zealanders.

The Regulatory Services Group, leads and influences two key regulatory systems for Aotearoa. In the gambling system we deliver community wellbeing through reducing gambling related harms; and in the anti-money laundering (AML) system we protect the trust in the financial systems of Aotearoa.

We are a responsive risk-based regulator focused on reducing harm, and ensuring that iwi, hapu and communities across Aotearoa are safe, resilient, and thriving.

The opportunity:

Here in Regulatory Services, intelligence staff have access to a range of professional development opportunities, intelligence networks across government, excellent technology support, and the opportunity to work with subject matter that is interesting, challenging, and has a real-world impact.
