The Hsc

The Health Sponsorship Council (HSC) is a New Zealand Crown Entity that uses health promotion to promote health and encourage healthy lifestyles. The long-term focus of the HSC is on reducing the social, financial and health sector costs of smoking, skin cancer, problem gambling, and obesity. HSC uses communication and marketing tools such as sponsorship, advertising, partnerships and school-based activities to support and enable healthy community attitudes and behaviours towards smoking, sun safety, gambling, and nutrition and physical activity.
