Cancer Council Australia

Mission / Objective

Cancer Council Australia is the national peak non-government cancer control organisation. Our aim is to minimise the threat of cancer to all Australians through successful prevention, best treatment and support. We seek to lead a cohesive approach to reduce the impact of cancer, working with our members, the state and territory Cancer Councils, to undertake and fund research, implement awareness and education campaigns and provide information and support services to cancer patients and their families.

Projects in Progress

Cancer Council Australia and its members are the leading founders of independent cancer research and related activities in Australia, granting more than $50 million to cancer research, research scholarships and fellowships in 2011.

Cancer Council Helpline provides information to more than 140,000 Australians each year and Cancer Councils around Australia take a lead role in prevention and education activities including skin cancer prevention, tobacco control and nutrition and physical activity campaigns.
