A message from The Fono's CEO - Tevita Funaki
Because you're thinking about a career with The Fono Trust let me tell you why that could be a great idea. When you become part of The Fono family you are sharing over 30 years of heritage as the Pacific organisation proven to have the power to generate substantial improvements for Pacific peoples in health and wellbeing right across Auckland.
The Fono Integrated model of Care is an expanding range of high-quality primary health, mental health, dental services, public health, health support, whanau ora, social services - including the Feleoko family support/food bank. The Fono also has the Oceania Career Academy as a service providing, as a NZQA Category One tertiary institution, highly successful training, and transitions to employment.

With links into all areas of Pasifika community life we have a unique ability to make our high quality, affordable health, and social services conveniently available across our vibrant and multicultural city from eight locations and through outreach services.
