Description
The Cancer Society of New Zealand is an independent non-government organisation dedicated to reducing the incidence and impact of cancer in the community through research, support, information and health promotion.
Regarded as one of New Zealand's most trusted charities, the Cancer Society is reliant on donations and bequests.
The services we offer include
- Psychosocial support from experienced nurses which includes advice on concerns, assistance with transport and accommodation
- Domain Lodge is an accommmodation servcie for those having cancer treatment in Auckland
- Health Promotion advocacy to prevent cancer
- We also are a major private funder of cancer research
Our nurses focus on supporting patients especially at the time of diagnosis, and after treatment. They are available to visit people at home, or provide support over the phone as required.
While we directly employ one nurse who works our of our office in Whangārei we also have partnerships with the PHO and four Māori providers who have nurses who work in collabroation with us to cover Northland.
Cancer Society Northland covers the area between Kaiwaka in the South and Cape Reinga in the North, and is a service of the Cancer Society Auckland division.
In terms of health promotion, the Cancer Society Northland works collaboratively with other community groups to achieve healthy public policy and to promote healthy lifestyle choices.
Being smokefree, practising sunsmart behaviour, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol consumption, and being active as part of everyday life can help to reduce the risk of developing some cancers as well as other chronic diseases.
Some of the activities carried out by the Cancer Society to reduce the risk of cancer include advocacy and education in the areas of:
- SunSmart Schools Accreditation programme
- SunSmart workplaces
- Smokefree parks and playgrounds
- Sunsmart and Smokefree events
- Healthy eating and catering choices
There are many ways to support the Cancer Society and people living with cancer in your community.
