Research
We fund more cancer research than any other non-government organisation in Australia. In 2017, thanks to the support of our community, we directed almost $60 million into world-class research across Australia along with our research partners.
Research can help reduce the impact of cancer in many ways, so Cancer Council invests in every stage of the cancer journey to maximise the outcomes and value of our funding.
We never forget our responsibility - to those who support us and those who need us - to make the most difference with every dollar invested. That's why we fund some of Australia's brightest research minds to help bring us closer to a cancer free future, faster.
Learn more about how Cancer Council is providing a launch pad for the next generation of research discovery.
