Why join Equity New Zealand?
He aha koe e hono ai ki Equity?

Equity New Zealand is the largest creative guild in Aotearoa. We are an effective and respected advocate for NZ performers  in live performance, screen and recorded arts.

Your membership ensures better pay and conditions for us all.  You will be represented by a board of elected NZ performers who actively lobby government and industry bodies on behalf of performers.  We provide extensive professional development opportunities and social events, and we welcome you into our whānau.

Joining Equity NZ is a mark of professionalism and pride in your work.  Every person who works as a performer can help us to improve the lives of all performers in Aotearoa. Join with us today –  when we work together, we are strong.
