Patients at our clinics receive personalised cancer treatment plans tailored to their needs, ensuring the best possible results at every stage of their journey.

Our Cancer Care Approach

At Harbour Cancer & Wellness, we offer a complete cancer treatment centre experience. Our team integrates modern cancer therapies with exercise and wellness programs to enhance recovery. Patients benefit from services such as physiotherapy, lymphoedema management, massage, acupuncture, counselling, and dietician support. These services work alongside chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted treatments to improve outcomes.

Meet Dr Joanna Connor

Dr Joanna Connor is a UK-trained medical oncologist specialising in breast cancer and sarcoma. She moved to New Zealand in 2019 and now works at Auckland Hospital while leading sarcoma care at Te Pūriri o Te Ora, Auckland Regional Cancer and Blood Service. She participates in national specialist groups and is actively involved in clinical trials and guideline development, ensuring patients have access to the latest cancer treatments.

Newmarket and Wairau Clinics

Our Newmarket Oncology Centre, located at 105 Carlton Gore Road, offers consultations and treatment Monday through Thursday from 8.30am to 5pm. We also provide services on Auckland’s North Shore at our Wairau Clinic. Both locations focus on integrated care that combines advanced medical treatments with wellness therapies.

Innovative Clinical Trials

We participate in world-leading clinical trials to provide access to new and effective cancer treatments. Our patients benefit from experimental therapies that are otherwise unavailable in New Zealand. Trials include studies in melanoma vaccines and other advanced oncology research.

Why Wellness Matters

Wellness is central to our care model. Physical activity during treatment can reduce chemotherapy-related cognitive effects, improve mood, and enhance overall health. We also provide supportive services such as physiotherapy, lymphoedema prevention, massage therapy, acupuncture, counselling, and dietician consultations to ensure patients receive holistic care.
