Reducing the impact of cancer and improve the well-being of those diagnosed by ensuring that evidence informs cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and supportive care.

Cancer AustraliaEstablished by the Australian Government in 2006, Cancer Australia aims to benefit all Australians affected by cancer, and their families and carers.

Cancer Australia adopts a highly collaborative approach, which sees the agency liaising with a wide range of groups, including those affected by cancer, key stakeholders and service providers with an interest in cancer control.

There is also a strong focus on populations who experience poorer health outcomes, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people living in rural and remote Australia.

As the lead national cancer control agency, Cancer Australia also makes recommendations to the Australian Government about cancer policy and priorities.
