"Ia su’i tonu le mata o le niu." – "Pierce the coconut eye correctly."
(With wisdom and collective effort, we ensure that our work in Pacific health is strong, purposeful, and impactful—just as precision is needed to tap into the full richness of the niu (coconut).)

The Public Health Association of New Zealand (PHANZ) is thrilled to announce the revitalisation of the Pacific Caucus—a dedicated space for Pacific health leaders, advocates, and community members to strengthen connections, drive advocacy, and champion better health outcomes for Pacific peoples in Aotearoa.

With renewed energy and a commitment to amplifying Pacific voices, we invite all PHANZ members passionate about Pacific health to be part of this exciting movement.

📅 Wednesday, 9 April

⏰ 5:30-6:30 PM

📍 Online via Microsoft Teams

This meeting will primarily focus on electing interim Caucus Executive Officers, determining preferred communication channels, and establishing the frequency and format of future meetings.

The interim leadership team will play a key role in guiding the Caucus, ensuring Pacific health issues remain at the forefront of public health advocacy. If you're interested in standing for an interim executive role, we encourage you to step forward and help shape this important kaupapa.

To register and receive the Teams link, or to express interest in an interim executive position, email pacific.sig@pha.org.nz.

Together, through service and leadership, we can uplift and empower our Pacific communities.

Manuia le fa’amoemoe, kia manuia, and we look forward to journeying with you.
