Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

The Board has to choose one of its employees to be the Registrar of the Register of Social Workers. You can think of the Registrar as the person in charge of keeping track of all the social workers in New Zealand. The Registrar can be the same person as the chief executive of the Board, which means they could have two important jobs at the same time.
