Pacific Islander Employment Support Program

In Development

This program supports Pacific Islanders with potential employment opportunities through cultural integration, training, mediation, placement services, and practical support for Pacific Islander workers in Melbourne.

Our Vision

Thriving Pacific families supported by strong employment, cultural pride, and generational success. A future where our people lead, contribute, and prosper across every industry.

What meaningful employment support includes

  • Tailored job-readiness training
  • Access to local job networks
  • Guidance on Australian workplace culture and workplace rights
  • Partnerships with community organisations, employers, and training providers
  • Pathways to sustainable employment
  • Mentoring and language support services

This initiative was introduced by Peter after years of working within the community and volunteering his support to members who needed help with employment-related matters — including filling out forms, transport to interviews, and general advice.
