It has been a week since the passing of our long-time friend and supporter Kay Van Norton Poche AO. Words don’t do justice to the magnitude of the impact Kay and her husband Greg Poche AO have had on Melanoma Institute Australia – our clinicians, our researchers, our staff, and most importantly, our patients and their families.
Pictures tell a thousand words, and so we are proud to share this photo tribute of Kay and her friendship with us over many years.
Vale Kay Van Norton Poche AO.

Many family members and myself have benefited because of the Poche centre. So grateful
How wonderful to see such amazing generosity that can change the lives of so many. That smile says it all xo
I just visited the Manly Adolescent hospice and was quite emotional thinking that someone could donate this to such a great cause. What an amazing legacy this family has given the community.
Plus the work the staff do there is incredible and to all those involved who made this happen – thank you.
