One Australian patient is being transported home by air ambulance, with others set to follow over the next 24-48 hours so they can be cared for nearer their families.
Local media has reported only five to 10 people donate skin in New Zealand each year.
And since each adult has about two sq m (22 sq ft) of skin, doctors have requested 120 sq m (1,300 sq ft) of skin from the US, where there are more tissue banks.
An initial skin graft normally lasts a couple of weeks. The idea is the body can begin to repair itself, but replacement grafts are often needed.

Dr Watson said the burns were more complex스킨엘리트=라이프스타일
because of the gasses and chemicals involved.
"This has necessitated more rapid surgical treatment of these burns than is the usual case for thermal only burns," he said.
"This is just the start of a very long process that for some patients will last several months."
