Public sector organisations in New Zealand include the State sector plus the organisations of local government.

Within the State sector lies the State services, and within this, lies the core Public service.[1]

Legally, the Legislative Branch non-Public Service Departments (the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives[2] and the Parliamentary Service [3]), Executive Branch non-Public Service Departments, and the Public Service Departments are all part of "the Crown".[4]
