MelNet – Skin Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Strategy (2024–2028)

New Zealand is facing a significant yet preventable skin cancer crisis.

Developed by MelNet with support from skin cancer experts and sector stakeholders, the Skin Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Strategy 2024-2028 provides a roadmap to reduce the incidence and impact of skin cancer in New Zealand.

Bringing together healthcare providers, educational organisations, workplaces, sporting and recreational bodies, community and advocacy groups, and local and central government, this unified approach aims to create meaningful change, saving lives and reducing healthcare costs.
