Care in Practice

Skin that's cared for, from the very first moment.

At MooGoo, we believe gentle, trusted skincare should be there from the very beginning, not something you have to figure out later, when things already feel overwhelming.

In 2026, our programs will support more than 65,000 Australians. From providing free skincare packs to newly diagnosed cancer patients,, to welcoming new families in maternity wards across the country. 

And behind it all, we’re investing in the people who make it possible - funding the next generation of cancer nurses with our national postgraduate scholarship. 

Two programs. One scholarship. One simple belief.

The right care, at the right moment, can make a real difference to how these moments feel.

Cancer Care

One of Australia’s most far-reaching free skincare programs for newly diagnosed cancer patients.

Supporting skin health right from the start.

Nobody starting cancer treatment should have to spend their first week googling moisturisers and ingredients.

That’s why we created our Cancer Care Program. It’s based on a simple clinical premise: skin is best protected when care starts at diagnosis, before treatment has the chance to disrupt the skin barrier.

So instead of waiting for reactions to start, our packs are given right at the beginning, when they can make the biggest difference.

In its first year, the program reaches 45,000 Australians across 135 hospitals and partner organisations.

Our long-term vision?

To get a MooGoo Cancer Care Pack into the hands of every one of the 160,000 Australians diagnosed with cancer each year.

Why skin health matters from the start

90% of cancer treatment patients experience some form of skin toxicity during their journey.¹ 

Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy can leave skin dry, sensitive and painful. Radiation therapy often causes Dermatitis and skin breakdown at the treatment site.² Immunotherapy brings its own range of reactions that can be severe and difficult to predict.³

These aren’t just cosmetic concerns. When skin is compromised, it can affect sleep, comfort, confidence and in some cases, even how well treatment can be tolerated.

That’s why starting early matters.

  • Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides

    A mild, pH-balanced cleanser that won’t strip or irritate delicate skin. Suitable for daily use on the face and body. Soap-free and SLS-free.

  • Skin Milk Udder Cream

Maternity

Supporting families and newborns right from the start.

The first hours after birth aren’t the time to be reading ingredient labels. We know that new parents already have enough on their minds, without needing to figure out what’s safe for their skin or their baby’s. Our Maternity Program helps take one small thing off that list.

Just like the Cancer Care Program, MooGoo’s Maternity Program is completely free. Packs are delivered straight to maternity wards and shared by midwives as part of existing postnatal care - no extra steps, no added pressure.

Why newborn skin needs extra care

Newborn skin is thinner, more delicate and more absorbent than adult skin. This means that irritants have the chance to cause more damage.⁴

So, newborn skin needs extra gentle care, especially in those first few days while the skin barrier is still developing.

All products in our Maternity Program are:

  • Safe for newborns from birth
  • Free from fragrance and harsh ingredients
  • Suitable for use during breastfeeding

Just simple, gentle care right from the start.

The 2026 Pack includes:

  • 2-in-1 Bubbly Wash

    A combination of non-irritating, bubbling Glucose and Coconut based cleansers that are mild on the skin.

  • MooGoo Baby Cloth

    Made from 100% Cotton, this 44cm x 44cm super-soft cloth featuring an adorable hand-designed MooGoo print helps keep your mini-moo dribble and spit-free when you're out and about.

How the program works

We've kept it simple so maternity teams can focus on what matters most.

  • Packs are supplied directly to partner maternity wards at no cost
  • Distributed by midwifery and nursing staff as part of postnatal care
  • Supporting materials are provided to help guide new mothers through product use
  • All products are safe for use during breastfeeding and on newborn skin
  • No contracts, no admin burden, no obligations

Just practical support, right from the start. Our team is also available at any time to answer clinical questions and provide product information.

MooGoo Postgraduate Cancer Nursing Scholarship

Investing in the future of cancer nursing.

We don’t just support patients. We support the nurses who care for them.

In partnership with the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA), MooGoo funds an annual postgraduate scholarship to support the next generation of specialist cancer nurses across Australia. 

Over the past four years, this has supported 16 nurses with $144,500, funding postgraduate study, professional development and research that directly improves the lives of cancer patients.

About the scholarship

Each year, we award $30,000 to four nurses - two Early Career Focus awards of $5,000 each and two General awards of $10,000 each. Successful recipients also receive CNSA membership and complimentary registration to the CNSA Annual Congress, where they are formally recognised among their peers.

The scholarship is open to postgraduate cancer nurse students and those within the first five years of cancer nursing practice. Applicants answer one question: how their future career will improve the lives of people undergoing cancer treatment, often with remarkable clinical insight and personal conviction.

Applications are reviewed by a panel including MooGoo Founder Craig Jones, CNSA leaders and our Head of Medical Partnerships, ensuring decisions reflect both clinical expertise and real-world care.

What our scholarship recipients go on to do

Our recipients go on to make a meaningful impact, from building nurse-led clinics in regional Queensland to establishing supportive care services for patients with rare or complex cancers and improving access in rural and remote communities. They’re truly helping shape the future of cancer care across Australia.

Recipients have come from organisations including Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service, GenesisCare, Northern Hospital Victoria and Gympie Cancer Care, as well as regional centres across South Australia and New South Wales - reflecting the full breadth of cancer care across the country.

Our partnership with CNSA

The Cancer Nurses Society of Australia is the peak professional body for cancer nurses, representing specialists across every state and territory. Our partnership helps ensure the scholarship has real clinical credibility and integrity, while connecting our support directly to the nurses delivering care every day.

Recipients are announced annually at the CNSA Congress, Australia’s leading conference for cancer nursing, recognising their work at the highest level of the profession.

It reflects something we strongly believe: supporting cancer patients and supporting the nurses who care for them go hand in hand.

For hospital pharmacies and dispensaries

Beyond our free patient programs, MooGoo products are increasingly recommended by pharmacists in hospital dispensaries as part of supportive care for oncology and maternity patients, as well as those managing chronic skin conditions.

Our products are available to hospital pharmacies through standard supply channels. We welcome conversations around stocking, formulary listing, and clinical education for pharmacy teams.
