Welcome to Pacific Trust Canterbury

Pacific Trust Canterbury is the largest provider of Pacific health and social services in the South Island. Our mission is to enable all communities to reach their full potential through the provision of quality services.

Founded in the 1990’s with a remit to provide ‘uniquely Pacific’ services to Pacific people, we are committed to providing professional, affordable and holistic health and social services that are culturally appropriate.

While originally set up for Pacific people, we welcome everyone through our doors, recognising the changing demographics of Christchurch and the changing needs of our flourishing communities.
