UNLOCK THE MEDICINES NEW ZEALAND NEEDS.

Thousands of Kiwis are waiting for medicines they may never receive. Not because the medicines don't exist. Not because they don't work. Because New Zealand won't fund them.

Hundreds of medicines (funded and available in Australia, the UK, and other countries) remain out of reach for New Zealanders. It's enough to fill an entire pharmacy. So that's what we did.

The Forbidden Pharmacy opens to the public in Auckland on Saturday 25 July. Come and see what New Zealanders are being denied, hear the stories behind the medicines and stand with the people calling for change.

Melanoma New Zealand is one of 17 organisations fighting to unlock the medicines New Zealand needs.

📆 Saturday 25 July, 10am-5pm
📍 Shed 10, 89 Quay Street, Auckland CBD
🎟️ Free entry

⭐ Matariki is a time to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead with purpose.

🫶🏼 As we welcome the Māori New Year, what’s one thing you'll do to support your wellbeing in the year ahead?

Martin thought his life was “pretty average” until an unusual mole changed everything.

After multiple diagnoses, surgeries, and years of treatment, he’s faced melanoma head-on with determination, resilience, and the support of those around him.

Today, his message is simple and powerful: “I will not give in to cancer.”

His story is a reminder of the importance of checking your skin, speaking up and never facing cancer alone.
