Become a DSPANZ Member
Our mission is to support our members to inform government policies and develop solutions that optimise business and economic outcomes in New Zealand and Australia.
In 2025, the DSPANZ Board commissioned an independent review to ensure DSPANZ remains sustainable, member-focused and well positioned in a
rapidly digitising operating environment. The review confirmed DSPANZ’s ongoing value but recommended reforms to strengthen governance and
leadership, sharpen strategic priorities and member value, improve operational discipline, and establish a sustainable operating
model.
DSPANZ conducted a Member Engagement Survey in late 2025 to assess your engagement with DSPANZ, the value they derive from membership, and opportunities for improvement. Check out the insights here/
DSPANZ provided a submission in response to the exposure draft materials for the Treasury Laws Amendment Bill 2026: Enhancing TPB Sanctions Framework. Read what we had to say here.
