About Us

Our Purpose

Vaka Tautua is a national “by Pacific, for Pacific” health and social services provider in Aotearoa with a strong presence in the regions.

We deliver disability, mental health, older peoples, financial capability and social services in the greater Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury regions.

We are Pacific governed, led, and driven. Our approaches and services are evidence-based and culturally relevant.

Our vision

Thriving, prosperous Pacific peoples in Aotearoa.

Our mission

To promote and advance the physical and mental development and wellbeing of Pacific peoples in Aotearoa.


Our Story

Vaka Tautua has proudly been serving our Pacific peoples and communities since 2007.

Vaka Tautua was established by the Pacific Information Advocacy Support Services Trust (PIASS Trust) and Malologa Trust. The trustees from the two organisations believed our Pacific peoples and communities would best be served if they joined forces and journeyed and navigated the seas together.

One vaka. One vision. One goal. One purpose.


Our Team

Our team is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our Pacific peoples, families and communities.

We bring our diverse knowledge, cultures, skills and experience to our work to make this happen. We also work collaboratively with other non-government organisations, community organisations, district health boards and government agencies.
