The ACENZ Personnel Survey is an annual survey used to calculate member subscription fees and perform high-level analysis of the sector.  

Members are invited to complete the survey by 21 February 2020. A report with the total number of people in your company and your subscription fee for 2020 is emailed to you before we issue your first invoice in April.  

If we don’t receive a response from your business, your subscription fee may be calculated based on the information supplied in your last completed survey as well as a penalty premium of 10%.   

Each survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
