Cancer Society of New Zealand

Our People

The Wellington Division was established in 1929 as a volunteer based charitable body. It is managed by a voluntary Executive Committee, a Medical and Scientific Committee and a small number of staff assisted by many volunteers.

The Wellington Division’s Management Team is made up of a diverse range of professionals all with significant experience in the not for profit sector.  Each member of the Management Team is committed to providing the very best possible cancer services to benefit patients, carers and families.Email us.
