The Association of Administrative Professionals New Zealand Incorporated – Te Kawarangi (AdmiNZ Inc.) is a voluntary national association administered by its members, for its members. AdmiNZ is a not-for-profit, voluntary national association governed by a Board of six members and two non-members. The membership includes recent newcomers to the profession through to experienced administrative professionals; mainly female but there is a growing trend for male administrators.
There are hundreds of different titles for those who work in administrative-based roles and these include executive assistants, personal assistants, administration managers, co-ordinators, receptionists, call center operators, accounts staff, school secretaries, industry trainers, etc - anyone involved either full- or part-time in administrative roles, in any industry.
AdmiNZ is the only administrative organization in New Zealand offering an accreditation or registration pathway through its Certification process. Certification provides an umbrella over three areas that need to be achieved to show the skills required by the administrative professional. This makes it an invaluable benchmark for those in the role, and employers.
