Most New Zealanders will be impacted by cancer in their lifetime – either directly, or through friends or family members affected by cancer. This plan sets NZ on a path to better cancer prevention, treatment and care over the next 10 years, so that New Zealanders living with cancer have access to high-quality care no matter who they are, or where they live.

The plan has four main goals:

1. New Zealanders have a system that delivers consistent and modern cancer care. 
2. New Zealanders experience equitable cancer outcomes. 
3. New Zealanders have fewer cancers. 
4. New Zealanders have better cancer survival.
