Cancer Council WA

Cancer Council Western Australia is WA’s leading cancer charity working across every aspect of every cancer. Currently, one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. In WA alone, there are almost 14,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed each year. We’re determined to change that, which is why we are working, every day to get closer to a cancer free future.

As a community-funded organisation, we rely on donations and support to deliver our work across four main pillars:
– Support: We offer a range of services to ensure no West Australian has to face cancer alone. We currently help over 33,000 people across WA each year.
– Research: We fund world-class research that targets cancer from every angle. Since our research funding program began in 1963, we’ve contributed over $65M to 1307 local research projects.
– Prevention: We know that preventing cancer is one of the most effective ways of creating a cancer free future. We develop and deliver programs such as Live Lighter, Make Smoking History, SunSmart and Find Cancer Early that encourage and empower people to lead healthier lifestyles to help reduce their cancer risk.
– Advocacy: We work with the community to change laws and policies to reduce cancer risks and improve cancer care.

An investment in Cancer Council WA’s programs and services is an investment in the community you live in. Thank you for helping us support all West Australians, to ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
