NZCCR for Families

Childhood cancer affects tamariki across Aotearoa, and understanding it can help families navigate the journey ahead. Here, you’ll find key facts about different types of cancer, diagnosis and treatment, national statistics, and the support and services available to children and their whānau.

Overview

Sometimes the information and recommendations you read will differ from the advice provided by your treatment or supportive care team. This might be because New Zealand practices have been slightly adapted to meet local conditions. Sometimes it is because of the unique circumstances of your case. We encourage you to discuss these differences with your team and to raise any concerns that you may have.

Our Values

Values we work by

Our work is grounded in a strong set of values that guide how we think, act, and work together. They shape the way we design services, build partnerships, and make decisions—ensuring that children with cancer and their whānau are always at the centre of what we do. These values reflect our commitment to equity, evidence-informed practice, meaningful collaboration, and delivering better outcomes and experiences for every child, now and into the future.
