About Us

Cancer Council ACT is a non-government, not-for-profit, community organisation that aims to reduce the incidence and impact of cancer in the ACT region.

We work tirelessly to:

  • Fund local cancer research that advances understanding and treatment of cancer.
  • Provide cancer support and information to individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis.
  • Deliver prevention and education programs to reduce cancer risk.
  • Advocate for policy change that benefits our community

Our work is possible thanks to the generosity of our local community who support us through donations and fundraising initiatives like Daffodil Day, Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, Relay for Life, The Longest Day, and Do It For Cancer. Every dollar we raise in the ACT stays in the ACT.

Our vision is a cancer-free future. Together, with your support, it’s all of us against cancer.

Cancer Council ACT is a proud member of:

  • The Cancer Council Federation, together with other member organisations in each state and territory
  • Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)
  • International Non-Governmental Coalition Against Tobacco
  • The Fundraising Institute of Australia
