新西兰政府是小政府，部门的设置够用但是不至于特别的繁杂，虽然说办事效率“一言难尽”，办事人员的规模“可能臃肿”，但是“头头脑脑”的数量，却没有那么多。
新西兰的政府部门肯定是要有部长的，由于国家不大，一些不是特别重要的部门的部长可能由其他部长或者内阁成员来兼任；或者说，一个较为“清水”的部门，只放一个部长就够了；没有一大堆的副部长，分管各种工作，更没有什么部长秘书、大秘、二秘之类的配置了。
而一些事情比较多的部，例如教育部、财政部、卫生部、住房部等等，就要有“副部长”这个官职了，有的部门配备了一个副部长，有的部门配置了两三个副部长；英文对这些副部长的称呼是 Associate Minister of xxx （部门的名字，例如 Finance, Justice 等）。
那么，目前新西兰的执政政府，各部门的副部长配置是什么样的呢？请注意，下面的列表中，不一定强调是“副部长”，更多的含义是“部门副手”的意思。该列表可以从 https://dpmc.govt.nz/our-business-units/cabinet-office/ministers-and-their-portfolios/delegations 找到，副部长的人选变动较为频繁，该列表页面的更新也较多（目前本百科知识是2021年3月底撰写）。
