The humanitarian assistance was officially dispatched at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport on December 27, 2024, led by the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture and attended by related officials.

This assistance involves cross-ministerial collaboration, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, BNPB, Kemenko PMK, and the Ministry of Health, with support from the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra. The earthquake in Port Vila resulted in 14 fatalities, hundreds injured, and thousands displaced.
