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.

Losi Kapagahemata Tupu's Niuean heritage is his link to his grandparents, and to Niue itself 🌺 "When I miss my grandparents, I often sing traditional songs and hymns as a way of remembering them and honouring their legacy." For Losi, his Niuean identity is "a layer of yourself that enables you to define who you are and articulate why you do things the way that you do." For #NiueLanguageWeek, Losi calls on "all Niue people, regardless of your level of fluency and knowledge, that this week becomes a challenge. Set little goals for yourself and take what you learn this year during Niue Language Week, teach that next year and build from there. This is your language, if you have Niuean blood you are Niuean. Full stop."
