Hi Peter,
where did you download the QGIS installer for macOS?
If you downloaded it form 
https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html#mac ,  did you read the 
instructions written in bold just above the download button?

"After installing QGIS, the first launch attempt may fail due to 
security protections. To enable QGIS, control-click on its icon in your 
Applications folder and select Open in the context menu. A confirmation 
dialog will display where you need to click the Open button again. This 
only has to be done once."

Are such instructions of any help for you?

Best regards.

Andrea
