Consulate — Auckland

The Consulate in Auckland is part of the Cook Islands High Commission in Wellington and operates under the direction of the High Commissioner. Auckland is home to the largest Cook Islands community in New Zealand, and the Consulate is the Government’s closest point of contact with Cook Islanders living there.

• Community engagement: work with Cook Islands communities, churches, associations and youth groups across Auckland.
• Services and information: provide information on Cook Islands Status and other Government services for Cook Islanders in New Zealand, and in particular Auckland.
• Promoting the Cook Islands: support trade, tourism, cultural and business links with Auckland, New Zealand’s commercial centre.
• Supporting visits: assist Cook Islands Ministers, officials and delegations travelling through or visiting Auckland.
