Latest estimates report more than a quarter of a million people need humanitarian assistance after last month's 7.5 quake and aftershocks which have killed at least 125 people.
Care PNG's Anna Bryan says it will take up to a year for communities to recover and much more international assistance is needed.
"You know Papua New Guinea is part of the Pacific and it gets overlooked sometimes, but it really is in need of desperate support at the moment. I think the way that we would support our other Pacific brothers and sisters we need that here in Papua New Guinea at the moment.
"I think the support from the New Zealand Government and the Australian Government has been great to date, but we do need that support over the coming months."
