Tala Pasifika

Tala Pasifika (Pacific action for change) is an initiative to unite Pacific peoples in action and improve health outcomes.

Tala is a group that provides the opportunity for Pacific peoples to talanoa, gather and share time to fellowship and work collectively to profile ways of increasing the wellness of all Pacific peoples in Aotearoa.

We have 53,751 Pasifika smokers in Aotearoa – that’s 21% of our Pasifika population. Tala Pasifika support a Smokefree Aotearoa by 2025 and use Talanoa — sharing stories — as an essential part of the life of Pacific people, and an essential part of our journey to becoming a Smokefree Aotearoa 2025.
