Yes, you’re in the right place! MelNet is now Skin Cancer NZ.

Make a lasting difference - directly from your pay

Payroll giving lets you make regular donations to Skin Cancer New Zealand directly from your pay. It’s simple, tax-efficient, and a powerful way to help more New Zealanders stay safe in the sun, detect skin cancers early, and access the best possible care.

Even small contributions add up, helping prevent skin cancers and save lives across New Zealand.

How it works

  1. Check with your HR or payroll team if your workplace offers a payroll giving programme.

  2. Select Skin Cancer New Zealand Incorporated as your chosen charity. 

  3. Give your employer our bank account details:
     Skin Cancer New Zealand Incorporated
     Account number: 12-3086-0260711-00

  4. Let your employer know how you'd like to donate and how frequently. 

  5. Start giving!  

Your donation will be automatically deducted from your pay before tax. Your employer will calculate your tax credit (33.33 cents for every dollar donated) and adjust your PAYE or withholding tax accordingly.

Donations through payroll giving are deducted before tax, so you cannot include them in your end-of-year tax credit claim.

Information for employers

If your workplace doesn’t currently offer a payroll giving programme, you can find information on setting one up through the Inland Revenue (IRD). Payroll giving allows staff to donate directly from their pay, tax-efficiently, to charities such as Skin Cancer New Zealand.
