About Us

As the largest private provider of cancer care services in the South Island, we provide patients with another choice outside of the public system for cancer treatment, notably offering shorter waiting times, access to non-Pharmac funded drugs, and advanced treatment through innovative equipment and evidence-based protocols.

Both private patients and those with health insurance can be seen and treated without delay.

We are dedicated to treating and helping patients navigate their cancer treatment through an integrated approach to care from surgery, radiation and chemotherapy through to nutrition and wellness programmes.
