Our Team
​
When Fonua Ola became an approved social service provider in early 2013, the first qualified and experienced social workers and counsellors were employed, coming from mainstream, statutory and Maori providers, bringing with them knowledge, skills and experience, and later with the merges of small Pacific providers we welcomed more than 40 years of experience in the community to join our growing team. For the community, this means services are aligned, standardised, culturally appropriate and outcome driven, allowing Fonua Ola to fulfil the vision of healthy, prosperous, safe, self-sufficient Pacific families.
