K'aute Pasifika Trust is a Pacific Island initiative, community owned, highly mobile, provider of health services, social services and is also registered as a private training establishment. It was set up to meet the needs of Pacific people residing in the Waikato region. Its mission is 'United we will Achieve'. It is a 'by Pacific for Pacific' organisation that recruits New Zealand registered nurses, social workers, tutors and community support workers with an ethnic-specific focus to address those barriers that prevent people from accessing existing services. Most of our staff are of Pacific origin, fluent in their languages and are known to Pacific communities in Hamilton and Tokoroa. They have in-depth understanding of community dynamics and social backgrounds of the people to whom they provide services.
