Together, we're here for life.

Annual Report 2022/23

 

To all of the volunteers, fundraisers, donors and partners in the Cancer Council community, thank you.

 

 

With your continued support, we’re able to stand by everyone impacted by cancer, protecting life’s moments, for life.

 

 

In 2022/23, we made significant strides towards making a generational impact on cancer – harnessing world-class research to save lives and help people reduce their cancer risk.

 

 

We transformed our processes, meaning we are now supporting people affected by cancer more efficiently and effectively than ever before.

 

 

And we delivered new resources to improve cancer outcomes for communities who need it most.

Once again, thank you.
