Every day, we give those affected by cancer support when they need it most.
Supporting people affected by cancer is at the heart of everything we do. We know that coping with cancer is challenging, and when you or someone you love is dealing with a cancer diagnosis, travelling for treatment, or adjusting to life after cancer treatment, getting the right information and support is crucial.
Cancer Council is the only charity in Australia that delivers a comprehensive range of support services for all people, affected by all cancers, across every state and territory. Our support services include information, counselling, practical and emotional support, all designed with and for people affected by cancer, for every stage of the cancer journey.
Support from people like you helps us be there for the thousands of Australians affected by cancer each year who need our help.
Over 45,000 trips for people with cancer and their carers
used our transport to treatment services to remove the stress of getting to treatment.
Over 56,000 hours of volunteer driver time given
to travel over 1.79 million kms to help people with cancer get to their treatment.
Almost 6 million online visits
to access our cancer information and support.
Over 500,000 free booklets and digital resources
distributed to help Australians better understand cancer.
