Ko Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa tōku maunga. Ko Manukau tōku moana. Nō Titirangi ahau.
Born, raised, and still living in Titirangi, Rohan Bush has a lifelong connection to West Auckland and the communities of Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa and Manukau Harbour. Together with her partner Sandra and daughters Maeve and Agnes, she is proud to call this place home.
Professionally, Rohan is a strategic engagement and partnerships leader with more than two decades of experience spanning housing, sustainability, public policy, community development, and systems change. She has held senior leadership and advisory roles with Kāinga Ora, Auckland Council, Edinburgh Napier University, the New Zealand Green Building Council, and government agencies in New Zealand and Australia. Her work has focused on bringing together government, iwi, community, industry, and academic partners to address complex challenges, particularly in housing, wellbeing, and sustainable development.
Rohan acknowledges and pays respect to the mana whenua of this area, recognising their enduring connection to the whenua and waters of West Auckland, and the knowledge, care, and stewardship they continue to bring to this place

Kia ora. E mihi ana ki ngā tohu o nehe, o te rohe e noho ana. Ko ngai te Aotearoa i tāku iwi. Ko Taranaki te whenua tupu. Ko Stratford te kāinga. Kei Lake Ōnoke au e noho ana naianei. Ko Vicky Prout tōku ingoa. Hi. I recognise the ancestral and spiritual landmarks of this region. I am a New Zealander. Taranaki is where I grew up. Stratford is the town I was raised in. Currently, I live in Lake Ferry. My name is Vicky Prout.

Kia ora! I’m Vicky, a proud mum of two with a deep passion for people and their wellbeing. I’ve been part of the Presbyterian Support whānau since March 2014 and have served in the National Office as the National Executive Assistant since February 2017.

I love my job and the mission of Presbyterian Support. Every day I’m inspired by the work we do to uplift older people, whānau, tamariki, and communities across Aotearoa. I’m committed to fostering connection, clarity, and care in everything I do – guided by the principles of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga.

Presbyterian Support New Zealand is governed by the National Council which is made up of representatives from each of the seven Presbyterian Support organisations.

The National Council meets at least twice a year to monitor organisational achievements and financial performance and set the strategic direction.

The National Executive Group (NEG) is made up of the Chief Executives of each of the seven Presbyterian Support organisations, a Roopū member and the Manager from PSNZ. They come together regularly to make decisions about national issues and shared areas of work. They ensure the National Council’s policies are implemented and manage PSNZ.

This Advisory group’s members are those from each region who provide cultural advice and leadership specifically with a Māori worldview. The Harakeke used in our Family Works’ logo describes the flax and the role it plays in the life and traditions of Māori. This reminds us that we aspire to be as strong and reliable as the Harakeke plant. Harakeke is unique to Aotearoa and is one of our oldest plant species, just as PSNZ is one of our oldest social and health service providers.
