The industrial union and professional body for performers working in New Zealand's entertainment industries, based on Karangahape Road in central Auckland. It is a union of performers rather than a venue, so it is a place for members and for people who work in the industry. Membership brings representation, advice and support, along with professional development and upskilling. The union says its members have secured recommended contracts and guidelines that now set industry best practice, and it focuses on the right to collectively bargain in the screen industry. It works with its Board and the Equity Foundation on skills, community building and international training. It also supports the New Zealand Actors Benevolent Fund, a non-profit charity that helps entertainment professionals living with injury, illness or disability. Donations to the fund are tax deductible. Equity New Zealand rates 4.0 on Google, which is listed on its own page.
