Cancer Council SA

Every day 26 South Australians are diagnosed with cancer, a disease that will affect one in two people at some time in their lives. At Cancer Council SA, we know every day there is hope—hope for better treatments, hope for more survivors and hope for a cancer-free future—because every day we’re another step closer to beating cancer. Every day we are working to reduce the impact of cancer on South Australians through: - Investing in the Cancer Council Beat Cancer Project, a major cancer research partnership (with the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and the SA Government) that aims to find more cancer breakthroughs. - Providing dedicated support services that aim to reduce the practical and emotional impact of cancer—like Cancer Council Helpline 13 11 20 where qualified cancer nurses can talk to anyone (patients, carers, family, colleagues and health professionals) about anything to do with cancer. - Running prevention and screening programs that aim to help people reduce their own cancer risk and find cancer early. - Advocating government to better support people with cancer and implement laws and policies that help to prevent people from developing cancer.
