About New Zealand Defence Force | Te Ope Kātua o Aotearoa

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is one of New Zealand’s largest organisations, structured to meet the unique demands of protecting New Zealand. We are a combat-ready force keeping New Zealand safe and secure. Members of our Civil Staff are an integral part of NZDF. They help us complete missions locally and overseas, ensuring our sailors, soldiers and aviators can do their best on ships, camps and bases; during humanitarian crises; and in combat. They bring specialised skills in non-military roles across key areas, including communications and information systems, security services, finance, property management, human resources, legal services, public affairs, and strategic management.
