Established as the ACT Cancer Society in 1968, we began providing a broad range of service from 1976 and are the leading cancer charity in ACT.

Cancer Council ACT has been advocating for Canberrans living with cancer for almost 50 years. We are a group of passionate healthcare professionals and operational staff who are dedicated to a cancer-free future for the nation’s capital. Together, it’s all of us against cancer. Cancer Council is the only charity that works across every area of cancer, from research to prevention and support. Every day, we support people affected by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the impact extends well beyond the individual. 💛

This National Carers Week we want to recognise the vital role carers play every day and remind carers that support is available for them too.

Swipe through to read more about John and Jacki’s story. They are a Canberra couple who have cared for each other through cancer diagnoses, regular treatment and other ongoing health challenges.

Their story highlights the critical role of carers and the importance of support that helps them continue caring. You can read more about John and Jacki and our support programs via the link: https://www.actcancer.org/home/media/national-carers-week/

Host a Girls’ Night In this October and turn your catch-up into a fundraiser for women’s cancers. Whether it’s dinner, a movie night or simply getting your favourite people together, you can make your Girls’ Night In your own 🩷

Every Girls’ Night In helps raise vital funds for cancer research, prevention and support services for women affected by cancer.

Gather your girls, pick a date and make a night of it. Because sometimes the simplest catch-ups make a big difference.

Overwhelmed by choice? We get it. ⛳️

Committing to 36, 54 or even 72 holes of golf on the big day is a lot. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to!

Whether you play 18 holes or go all the way to 72, every hole counts - and every dollar raised helps us get closer to a cancer-free future.

Take on as many holes as you can, set your own fundraising goal, and make every swing count.

However many holes you choose to play, you’re making a difference.
