Vinaka Employment Agency is no longer an authorized recruitment agency to conduct any business of registering, recruiting and deployment of Fijian workers for overseas employment opportunities.

The Ministry of Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations says the Vinaka Recruitment Agency authorization lapsed on 14th January, 2022, and any recruitment conducted by this agency thereafter is regarded as illegal.

The Ministry says it currently has five registered Employment Agencies authorized to recruit and send Fijian workers for overseas employment and these are Viti Roofing & Construction PTE Limited, PacLeader Pacific PTE Limited, Alpha Pacific Navigation PTE Limited, Pacific Employment Agency PTE Limited and Blue Harbour Recruitment PTE Limited.

They are urging all Fijians to contact the nearest Ministry of Employment Office to ensure that they are given the right advice on overseas employment issues and also register their interest with registered employment agencies authorized by the Ministry.
