ABOUT US

At the Oceania Pacific Health Association (OPHA), we are committed to advancing the health and well-being of Pacific communities in Australia and across the Oceania region. Our mission is to support and empower individuals, organizations, and governments in addressing the unique health challenges of our people and improve health outcomes through collaboration, research, advocacy, and the sharing of knowledge.

Established in 2021, OPHA offers a collegial space for Pacific health professionals, researchers, policy makers, and advocates who are united by a common vision of supporting healthier, more resilient Pacific communities. Whilst our work spans a range of areas, we have a particular emphasis on community-based solutions that are grounded in Pacific values and knowledge.

We believe in the importance of collaboration and partnerships. By working together, we can ensure that Pacific communities have access to the resources, education, and support needed to address their specific health needs. Through our programs, research initiatives, and advocacy efforts, we hope to inspire the next generation of Pacific health professionals and create a future where every individual in the Pacific region has the opportunity to lead a healthy, fulfilling life.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can make a lasting impact on Pacific health.
