"I moved over from New Zealand to Australia in 2018 and joined UQSPIA in my transition to university studies. UQSPIA played a massive role in my new life in Australia and was a source of comfort and support. I've made lifelong friends whom I now call family and cherish the memories and confidence UQSPIA has given me."

"I joined SPIA in 2016 after moving from Warwick, a small town southwest of Brisbane. Growing up I didn't have a lot of opportunities to meet other individuals like myself, people from the Pacific. UQSPIA connected me with friends who understood my foundations, culture and taught me more about the true wonders and richness of the Pacific islands."
