If you're a professional, regulator, public servant or insider with whistleblower information you want to share about New Zealand’s COVID response, this affects you.
Legal protections under the Inquiries Act only apply if the Commission formally invites you to give evidence.
To stay safe, submit confidentially, cite something on the public record, and request a Section 20 invitation.
Submissions close 27 April 2025. However, the Commission has confirmed it can still contact people after that date, as long as they’ve submitted something by the deadline, so there is time.
