Leading the fight against
skin cancer

Skin Cancer NZ is the leading organisation for skin cancer professionals in New Zealand. 

We are working towards a future with fewer skin cancers, and where every person - no matter who they are or where they live - receives the best possible care.

By shaping strategy, defining best practice, supporting professionals and advocating for change, we are driving a nationwide effort to improve outcomes and strengthen how skin cancers are prevented, detected and treated across New Zealand.
