The Melanoma Network of New Zealand (MelNet) is a registered charity of over 1300 health professionals working to reduce the incidence and impact of melanoma in New Zealand. We do this by educating and training health professionals in skin cancer prevention and early detection, promoting skin cancer information, research and best practice to health professionals, connecting those working in melanoma to help ensure an integrated consumer-centric approach to managing melanoma in NZ and advocating for improved melanoma prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and research through policy and funding support and the implementation of national standards.
