New Zealand has the highest rate of melanoma in the world – and we’re on a mission to change this. That’s why we champion prevention, early detection, and patient care – for all.
How we can help you
Spot Check Events
Our dedicated Nurse Educators travel the country, providing free spot checks and education about melanoma. So far, we’ve carried out more than 32,000 spot checks and discovered more than 4,400 suspicious lesions, including suspected melanomas.
Counselling
Our free Counselling Service supports anyone affected by melanoma, including individuals, families, whānau and carers.
Nurse Appointment
If you’re concerned about melanoma or need advice, support and links to other services, book a free consultation with our Nurse Educator.
We aim to save lives every day by raising awareness about melanoma prevention and early detection.
“I now check my moles like crazy”
Christchurch resident Alyssa Sherriff was 27 years old, and newly pregnant with her second child Louis, when she found out last year that she had a melanoma on her face.
I’d had this particular mole for about 5 years, but because it was on the back of my leg it was hard to see, and I didn’t realise that it had changed. Gill probably saved my life that day.
Thanks to the generosity of our ambassadors, patrons, partners, donors and volunteers
we’re able to help New Zealanders every day.
