Every day, 66 Victorians hear the words 'you have cancer' and each year, over 24,000 Victorians will be diagnosed. With one in three Victorians expected to be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes, every Victorian community is affected.

For over 70 years, the Cancer Council Victoria has been working to reduce the impact of cancer in our community.
*We conduct and support research *We deliver statewide public health education programs *We provide support to reduce the physical and emotional burden of cancer.
