Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity



Help shape the future of mental health for Cook Islands communities.

This is more than a research role—it’s an opportunity to contribute to work that is grounded in culture, connection, and community voice. You’ll be part of a project that places Cook Islands perspectives at its heart, working alongside communities to better understand, support, and strengthen mental wellbeing for rangatahi and future generations.

The programme includes translation of mental health resources, qualitative engagement with youth, and implementation of a large-scale Cook Islands mental health survey.

If you are passionate about Pasifika wellbeing, culturally grounded research, and creating real-world impact, this role offers a unique chance to make a meaningful difference.
