Declaration of conflicts of interest

To assure the Health Quality & Safety Commission can operate in an impartial manner in relation to the procurement of goods and services, it is necessary to ensure individuals declare that they have no conflicts of interest and that they will not misuse any knowledge or information they obtain while engaged by the Commission to give either themselves or their employers, agents or associates a financial advantage outside of the particular contract they have with the Health Safety & Quality Commission.

Situations likely to lead to a conflict of interest based on this definition are:

  • employment, including secondary employment, with another organisation/s
  • involvement in another business, including investments and property ownership
  • other financial interests including beneficial interests in trusts
  • professional or legal obligations owed to someone else
  • holding office in, or being a member of another organisation
  • affiliations with lobby groups
  • family or close personal relationships
  • political beliefs that compromise an employee’s ability to undertake a particular task or duty.

13. Have you been convicted of any criminal or driving offences or do you have any such charges pending?*

You are not required to disclose convictions otherwise concealed by the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004, parking tickets or minor speeding offences. All other convictions and pending charges must be disclosed. For information about which convictions may be legitimately concealed please see www.justice.govt.nz. Note that a false or incomplete declaration about prior convictions or pending charges will invalidate your application and/or may result in the termination of your employment.  If you are the preferred candidate, you will be required to undergo a Ministry of Justice check, to be completed and returned without delay.

14. Are you currently under investigation by any law enforcement agency or regulatory agency or professional regulatory body for any offence or other disciplinary matter?*

Do you consent to the disclosure to the Health Quality & Safety Commission of whether you have been subject to a serious misconduct investigation, either concluded and upheld or currently under investigation, from all previous Public Service and statutory Crown entity employers for the last three years? This will usually be conducted at the preferred candidate stage. 

15. Please confirm your consent:*
