Our TV Shows
COMMUNITY
Over the past few years, we have developed many impactful programs that have been educational, entertaining, and inspiring for our community members. One of the notable nonprofit projects we launched earlier this year was the Community Online Educational TV Show.
This initiative was organized by the Persia NZ Community, in collaboration with and supported by the New Zealand Government, the Ministry of Ethnic Communities, and Internal Affairs. You can watch this TV show and see the sponsors involved on the TV2 AUSTRALIA Channel through the link below.
Let’s promote yourself within our community!
GO TO AUSTRALIA
Go To Australia is a TV series focused on Australia’s immigration laws and visa updates, designed for migrants who wish to move to Australia or those already living here and seeking more information about immigration laws. In each episode, Dr. Sirous Ahmadi (MARN 0854826), a well-known migration agent with over 13 years of experience, provides essential information on various visa types, including work, family, study, and partnership visas. He will guide you on the best path forward in your migration journey.
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE is a new TV show that highlights the inspiring success stories of Persian Australians. This program goes behind the scenes to uncover how everyday individuals have transformed their humble beginnings into remarkable achievements. In each episode, the interviewees share their personal journeys—how they believed in their dreams, took risks, and, through hard work and a bit of luck, reached success.

Testimonials
Our Members Stories
"When I joined the PERSIA NZ Community in Auckland, my life was changed. Before that I was alone and didn't have any friends, but now I have many new friends and we are excited to meet each other in the community programs. We also like to be part of the community as volunteer and support other people to know more about our Persian Community. "
Mr. Abbas Akbari
Community Member
"I was very active and talented chef back in Iran, but at the beginning of my migration to New Zealand I was so alone and didn't know how to socialize. The PERSIA NZ Community provided me with the opportunity to work at the Nowruz event as a chef and I could prove my cooking talents to many people. Now I am running my own catering business."
Mrs. Mandana Asadpour
Sepahan Catering Chef
"Attending the Personal Empowerment workshop was an incredibly enriching experience. I learned a lot about personal development and goal-setting skills and I was able to apply them immediately in my work. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone else, looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in goal setting and the objectives they may have in life."
Mr. Farshad Safavi
P.NZ.C Board of Director
"I am really grateful for enjoying the Personal Empowerment workshop. After attending this workshop, I could get a better job opportunity and achieved my social goal. I think this is a course everyone should practice because it will take us to amazing outcomes not only for our own life goals but also let us help others for a better future and generations to come."
Ms. Jacqueline Williams
Miss Charity NZ World Wide
"I am proud for being part of the PERSIA AU community as a board of directors and being involved in some non-profit educational projects that were organized between Australia and New Zealand. My TV show, called Go to Australia, is a sample of the educational programs that educates our community members about Australian migration laws. "
Dr. Sirous Ahmadi
Registered Migration Agent
“Joining the Queens of Persia beauty pageant was a great experience for me, but the most important thing I have learned during this journey was the Personal Empowerment Course, mentored by Mr. Clooney. I found this course very empowering, inspiring, and informative. I recommend all Persian women, to join this program to experience its valuable knowledge.”
