Our history and story

The National Child Cancer Network was established in late 2011, with a primary function to provide clinical leadership and oversight for the delivery of child cancer services in New Zealand, as well as to implement the National Plan for Child Cancer services that would drive service improvements across the country.

Timeline

Our History

The NCCN is funded by Te Aho o Te Kahu (Cancer Control Agency) and is an integral part of the New Zealand Cancer Action Plan 2019-2029. The Network has its origins in the Paediatric Oncology Steering Group (POSG), which was established in 1999. The Paediatric Oncology Steering Group operated for over 10 years and was responsible for some key initiatives that are embedded in the child cancer services that are in place today – the Late Effects Assessment Programme (LEAP), the New Zealand Child Cancer Registry (NZCCR), and Clinical Research Assistants to support Clinical Trials and National Clinical Guidelines.

Our Origins

The Network has its origins in the Paediatric Oncology Steering Group (POSG), which was established in 1999. The Paediatric Oncology Steering Group operated for over 10 years and was responsible for some key initiatives that are embedded in the child cancer services that are in place today – the Late Effects Assessment Programme (LEAP), the New Zealand Child Cancer Registry (NZCCR), and Clinical Research Assistants to support Clinical Trials and National Clinical Guidelines.



In 2010, the National Plan for Child Cancer Services in New Zealand was developed by the then Ministry of Health and the National Health Board, in conjunction with District Health Boards (DHBs) and the Paediatric Oncology Steering Group. This plan provided a national framework for the delivery of child cancer services and recommended the establishment of a national clinical network for child cancer services in New Zealand.
