About Cancer Council Australia
Cancer Council Australia is working to reduce the impact and incidence of all cancers for all Australians. Together, we’re stronger. Their work spans all areas of cancer, from prevention to early detection, support, advocacy, and research.
Cancer Council Australia works together with their members, the eight State and Territory Cancer Councils, to reduce the impact and incidence of cancer for all Australians. They also work with organisations which have goals similar to theirs, health professionals, the Australian Government and people who are passionate about preventing cancer and improving cancer outcomes.
Cancer Council Australia’s history
Cancer Council Australia commenced in 1961 as the Australian Cancer Society, when the six state Cancer Councils - which then varied in name and brand - agreed to establish a federal body to promote cancer control at the national level. Cancer organisations in the ACT and the Northern Territory were subsequently formed and signed on as members of the society.
While state and territory Cancer Councils continued to undertake most of the organisation’s research, patient support and education programs, the federal body’s primary role was to develop independent national cancer control policy - albeit on a comparatively modest scale.
