This year’s Mana Pasifika was more than an event — it was a celebration of six years of powerful collaboration with Etu Pasifika and Pacific Radiology Group 🤝🌺

Together, we’ve walked alongside our communities to champion breast, cervical, and bowel screening — and through heartfelt talanoa, this event became a powerful reflection of that journey, filled with alofa, strength, and shared purpose.

To our incredible stakeholders, volunteers, and community champions — fa’afetai tele lava, malo ‘aupito, and thank you. Your dedication, warmth, and service, helps create a space where our people felt seen, heard, and supported 💗

We look forward to continuing this journey, deepening our va, and growing the impact of our work together.

If you're 58 or 59 and living in the Waitaha, Canterbury region, keep an eye on your mailbox 📬 — your free bowel screening kit will arrive around your birthday. No need to sign up or do anything extra!

This change means more people can get screened earlier, helping catch bowel cancer when it’s easier to treat 💚

People in Northland, Auckland and the South Island can now take part in free bowel screening from the age of 58 (previously 60). People turning 58 or 59, or who are already 58 or 59 in those areas don’t need to do anything. They will be mailed their bowel screening kit around their next birthday.

The lower starting age will be introduced in the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand from March next year.

Bowel screening is free, quick and easy, and can help find cancer early, when it can often be successfully treated.
