As New Zealand’s leading cancer charity, our role is to advocate for effective cancer control laws and policies on behalf of our communities.
What is a submission?
A submission is a written statement given to decision-makers such as the Government or regulatory authority.
When decision-makers are conducting an inquiry or introducing new policies and legislation, they will call for public submissions.
Submissions are a way for the people of New Zealand to have a say and influence decision-making.
Cancer Society submissions
We make submissions to the Government and other key decision-making agencies on a range of national issues relating to cancer control.
Submissions are a valuable opportunity for us to present an evidence-based position on actions the Government and others can take to reduce the impact of cancer.
We welcome and encourage community members to contribute their views.
