Our Mission
South Pacific Employment Central Australia is a non profit organisation committed to empowering and supporting South Pacific communities through various programs and initiatives. Our focus is on providing services and support to enhance the well-being and opportunities for individuals and families in the region. We draw inspiration from our rich cultural heritage and diversity of the South Pacific, reflected in our approach and engagement with the community through our traditional dances, cultural attire, our unique languages and music. Please watch our "About" page we will update of any upcoming and future South Pacific dances and performances and fundraising events.
We here at SPEC Australia inc acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country and land throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.
Inspiration for
SPEC Australia
My family are my true inspiration in starting this journey for South Pacific Employment Central Australia.
My family and I have been helping people acquire employment in the Polynesian community since 1996 and we wanted an opportunity to serve the State that has blessed our family the most.
My parents and I migrated to Australia in the late 80's and we became Australian Citizens in the 90's and my 2 younger siblings are both Australian born citizens. I have a huge amount of gratitude for this country and the many opportunities and doors and blessings it has opened to my family.
We have helped people with employment opportunities, accessing government services, acquiring community support, accessing business services and registrations, immigration paperwork, citizenship application support and tax file number and ABN applications. My family and I have done this as a community service but have never pursued this as a business due to our individual pursuits and our own personal and professional commitments.
I have a strong testimony of the Saviour Jesus Christ and therefore wanted to establish this as a non profit cultural organisation to enable us the opportunity to continue serving our South Pacific communities, by utilising additional support and services and to branch out further and to reach more people.
