Cancer Council ACT

Cancer Council ACT 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.

If you've ever recorded songs from radio to tape, now is the time to start thinking about check-ups and early detection. 📻

Since the panic of Y2K, some of the most common cancer survival rates have doubled because of better early detection and screening. Lung, bowel, and skin cancer, all more common in men, are being found earlier thanks to improvements in cancer detection. The earlier cancer is detected, the greater the opportunity for effective treatment and positive health outcomes.

Completing a skin check or bowel cancer kit takes you less time than a quarter of footy, and could just save your life.

This Men's Health Week, encourage the boys to think about their bodies. Hit the link to find out more information 👉 https://ow.ly/4ltV50ZbzO2

Last week our team was out and about at the ACT Brumbies match, providing information to the community at our SunSmart stall, and raising funds as the beneficiary of the @5050 Charity Raffle - resulting in a total of over $3,700 for Cancer Council ACT!

We couldn’t have achieved such an incredible result without our try-mendous volunteers, who sold raffle tickets and brought the energy to the crowd. 🏉

Thank you to everyone who supported Cancer Council ACT at the game. 💛

Last week, we had a special visit from some AMAZING community members who hosted their first ‘Canberra’s own World Cancer Day Cricket Event’ back in February.

As their first major cricket event, they not only brought the community together through a shared love of cricket, but they also raised close to $2000 to support Cancer Council ACT’s work in the community – a great demonstration of locals supporting locals. 💛

The final score? More hope for locals affected by cancer. 🏏
