2. About Cancer Australia About Cancer Australia Cancer Australia was established to benefit all Australians affected by cancer, and families and carers. Cancer is the major cause of illness in Australia. One in two Australians will have developed cancer and one in five will have died from cancer before the age of 85. For the individuals affected, cancer can impact on every aspect of life, including long-term health and psychological wellbeing. Cancer Australia is a specialist agency providing leadership in cancer control across all cancers and across the continuum of care. Cancer Australia also focuses on populations which experience poorer cancer outcomes, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people living in regional and rural Australia. Cancer Australia builds the evidence base, analyses, interprets and translates the latest scientific cancer research and data to inform policy and practice, and to provide information and expert advice on cancer control to governments, health professionals and the community. Cancer Australia maintains a strategic and inclusive approach to consumer engagement in order to ensure that its work is informed by and responsive to the needs of people affected by cancer and the broader community. Cancer Australia leads, coordinates and informs national, evidence-based strategies and integrated interventions in priority areas. Cancer Australia works to minimise the burden of cancer. This is achieved by harnessing expertise, effective partnerships, and a collaborative model that fosters engagement across the health system.
