Nominations

Nominations to Government boards

The Ministry has a Nominations Service with a database of skilled Pacific people who are available for appointment to state sector boards and committees.

• The Nominations Service is regularly consulted on appointments to over 400 state sector boards and committees.
• The Service puts forward the names of Pacific people with relevant skills and experience for positions on state sector boards. Read more on on how we nominate
• Pacific people who want to be considered for appointment to state sector boards and committees can apply for registration on our nominations database.

Note: The appointments process is highly competitive and there is no guarantee that you will be appointed to a board. Equally, expressing an interest in board positions does not commit you to accepting any appointment that is offered to you.
