Tools
Practical tools for workers, unions and partners. Every number and every contact links to the page where we checked it.
Find help near you
Choose your country and who you are (fisher, seasonal worker, domestic worker). You will see labour ministries, union centres, labour sending units and — for seasonal workers — help in Australia and New Zealand.
We only list organisations and contact details we could check on an official or credible page. Where we could not check something, we say so. Numbers change, so if one does not work, tell us.
ILO ratification tracker
Which ILO Conventions has each Pacific country agreed to? This table shows 11 key standards for the 16 countries on this site: freedom of association (C87), collective bargaining (C98), forced labour (C29, C105), child labour (C138, C182), equal pay and non-discrimination (C100, C111), work in fishing (C188), domestic workers (C189), and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006).

Pacific labour dashboard
A few numbers, each with its source and date: how many ILO Conventions each country has ratified, whether it has ratified C188, and how many PALM workers from each country were in Australia (DEWR data, July 2026).
If we could not find an official source for a number, it is not on the dashboard.
Ask the Library
Type a question and get the most relevant publications from our library of more than 1,800 reports, with links and short summaries. It does not write answers — it shows you where to read.
