Wallis and Futuna

Australia’s international development assistance in Wallis and Futuna helps promote prosperity, reduce poverty, and enhance political stability.

Australia is present in Wallis and Futuna, the most remote and least developed of the French Pacific territories.

Before 1961, Wallis and Futuna was a French protectorate, then a colony administered from New Caledonia. In 1961 it became a French overseas territory and in 2003 a French overseas collectivity. Wallis and Futuna is comprised of three main islands (Wallis, Futuna and Alofi) and a number of tiny islets.
