Watching the next generation step into their potential is one of the most rewarding parts of the work we do and Lani has been a true reflection of that. 🌺
During her time here at Pacific Health Service Hutt Valley she brought positive energy and a strong willingness to be hands on in her learning. We are confident that once she completes her Bachelor of Pharmacy she will be a valuable asset to her team and wherever her future career takes her.
As you return to university this year Lani, we wish you every success. Carry forward the skills and confidence you have built and continue to walk proudly as an authentic Pacific Queen 👑

This is a full day dedicated to bringing families together through movement, connection, and fun. It’s the perfect chance for everyone - kids, parents, grandparents, and friends to get active, spend quality time together while sharing our Pasifika pride.
Getting active together strengthens families, encourages healthy habits, and creates lasting memories.

👏 We are incredibly proud of the intelligence and heart our interns bring - and Francis is no exception. Over the past six weeks, he’s connected with community, learned alongside leaders in oral health, and taken real action toward his future as an oral health professional, for the wellbeing of our people.
Throughout his internship, Francis has been a joyful presence both in the office and out in the community, bringing passion and genuine commitment to improving oral health outcomes for our Pasifika communities.
As he continues his study journey this year, we encourage him to carry forward the knowledge he’s gained, alongside the confidence and Pacific pride already instilled in him. This is not a goodbye - it is a see you soon! 😀
If you carry the heart to serve our people, there’s a place for you in health and social services. Start your study journey, the future of Pacific wellbeing is in the hands of the next generation. 🙌🏽

Leading the development and maintenance of a healthy Pacific Community in the Hutt Valley
Pacific Health Services Hutt Valley is an independent health service working closely with our Pasefika community of 12,000 people in the Hutt Valley north of Wellington. We provide community engagement, development, support, health services and social services. Our focus is A Vibrant Healthy Pasefika community in the Hutt Valley. We have delivered value to Pasefika people since 1999.
Our Pasefika family-centred approach reinforces family strengths, provides appropriate support and empowers families to live well with greater control over their lives. We are very well connected as a core part of our community and our approach is based on socio-cultural evidence about what works. This includes working through established community networks and a focus on faith-led approaches to service delivery. The nine explicit premises from the Family Centre Report offer a good description of our Pasefika family-centred approach.
Our services are very well regarded and we achieve highly on client satisfaction and quality measures. We have built up a range of health and social services in response to community need. We work with Hutt Valley DHB, Te Awakairangi PHO and other providers.
Our services and projects include:
Family Well-being and Social Service
Community Engagement & Development Project
Healthy Lifestyles Pasefika Programme
Family Against Obesity / Pasefika Choice Project
Mobile Nursing Service
Well-child Service
Breast & Cervical Screening
Rheumatic Fever Campaign
Membership of the Central Pacific Collective
Capacity and Capability Development
We are particularly proud of the following achievements in the last three years:
Pacific Touch tournament to bring people together around the healthy lifestyles messages
Mobile Nurse-led clinics as a better and more accessible way to provide services
Family Against Obesity / Pasefika choice has increased awareness and encouraged our people to take action
Hutt Valley DHB Community Services Award
First to be audited for Quality jointly by our funders
Preferred provider status with the Ministry of Social Development
Positive service evaluation and extension of funder contracts
Our innovative Faith-led Project has shown its value and has resulted in the Ministry of Health changing its funding parameters
Development of Governance through Board professional development with the Institute of Directors (funded by the Ministry of Social Development).
Our funding partners include: Hutt Valley DHB; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Social Development; and the new Ministry for Vulnerable Children. Over the next three years, we will deepen these partnerships and add new partnerships. We will develop our community relationships to attract greater levels of charitable donation and support. Consolidating our service offering will also allow us to develop partnerships with philanthropic organisations with an interest in progressing our vision for our Pasefika community in the Hutt Valley.
Our Board is made up of representatives from the main Pasefika groups in the Hutt Valley, co-opted representatives (e.g. representing Youth) plus independent directors as required to provide the skills and experience the Board requires. We will continue to develop our governance capability to take us forward and deliver on our purpose.
Our staff are passionate about our community and bring the skills and experience needed to deliver quality service. Over the next three years, we will continue to develop our service and leadership skills and invest in technology to assist staff in their work. Our current staffing is 11 (9FTE).
Over the next three years, we will consolidate the range of services we provide for our people. This is about filling current gaps in the services we offer and deepening our quality and evaluation processes. We will work with our partners to maximise the benefit to our people from available funding and ensure that the services we provide also meet this test.
Staff, Board and Funders work together to achieve the value for our community
