We are confident in our endeavours, we are thriving, resilient and prosperous Pacific Aotearoa.
About us
We pride ourselves on the knowledge that we are part of a story of Pacific people in Aotearoa New Zealand that goes back many hundreds of years, and reaches across many thousands of miles. Our job is to write the next chapter of this story for our people. We see our connection to the Pacific community, therefore, as being at the intersection between centuries of history and culture, and the future Aotearoa New Zealand. In everything we do, we take our families and communities with us. Whenever we are in meetings with other Agencies, designing policy or speaking with Ministers of Parliament, we take our communities into the room with us. We can do this because of the time we spend nurturing our relationships with our people. These relationships are crucial to what we do and enable us to prioritise the changes that will ensure more of our Pacific people can lead fulfilling lives. Whether it is accessing life changing learning opportunities, help finding jobs to support their families, or having their voice heard in government decisions that affect Pacific communities, we walk alongside our people and empower them to change their lives.

Born and raised in Rarotonga, Auckland-based Kramer Hoeflich says Cook Islands culture and community profoundly shaped who he is 🌺 Kramer would love to see “Cook Island language and culture flourish in Aotearoa by creating vibrant opportunities for my nephews and nieces to engage with their heritage. Imagine them participating in lively community events, enjoying fun language classes, and joining cultural workshops designed just for kids! “By immersing them in these joyful experiences, we can help them develop a deep sense of pride and connection to their Cook Islands roots. Celebrating our traditions in this way will not only strengthen their identity but also bring a touch of our beautiful culture into the heart of Aotearoa.” #CookIslandsMāoriLanguageWeek
