The Governor-General is the latest public official to dock their pay and will donate 20 per cent of her salary over the next six months.
Dame Patsy Reddy says she's making the move to show leadership and support for sectors of the community affected during the pandemic.
"I am very conscious of the impact of the current situation on all New Zealanders and feel it is important to offer support to organisations helping some of the most vulnerable members of our community."
Dame Patsy will donate to the Order of St John, Women's Refuge, KidsCan, the SPCA and the Arts Foundation.
