💜 National Carers Week | 11-17 October

This National Carers Week, we're recognising the invaluable contribution of carers who support women facing gynaecological cancer.

Whether they're a partner, family member, friend or loved one, carers provide practical support, emotional encouragement and unwavering care through some of life's most challenging moments.

This year's theme, "Care for a Carer: Making Carers Visible", encourages us all to acknowledge, support and appreciate the carers in our families, workplaces and communities. To every carer supporting a woman through her gynaecological cancer journey: thank you. Your care makes a difference every day.

💜 Let's take a moment this week to recognise the carers around us and ensure they feel seen, valued and supported.

💜 This Menopause Awareness Month, we're highlighting the importance of information, care and support for women experiencing medical menopause.

Menopause doesn't always happen at midlife. For some women, it begins suddenly as a result of cancer treatment or risk-reducing surgery.

At ANZGOG's recent National Gynaecological Cancer Priorities Roundtable, discussions highlighted a significant concern for women with a gynaecological cancer, including those who are diagnosed at a young age or with a high inherited risk of cancer: uncertainty about menopause care can become a barrier to treatment and risk-reducing surgery.

ANZGOG-supported research, including the WHAM (What Happens After Menopause?) study, is helping improve our understanding of the impact of medically induced menopause on quality of life, including sleep, mood, sexual wellbeing and overall health. By supporting research, we're helping generate the evidence needed to improve care, support informed decision-making and ensure women have access to the right information and support throughout treatment and beyond.

Women experiencing medical menopause following cancer treatment need continuity of care, with access to trusted information, evidence-based care and appropriate support throughout their journey.

Let's make conversations about medical menopause part of routine care, so every woman feels informed, supported and empowered to make the decisions that are right for her. 💜

💜 There are only a few days left to make a difference for women facing gynaecological cancer this Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month.

Jane was diagnosed with vulvar cancer after noticing a lump on her vulvar. But in reality, the symptoms had started long before that. This is a common experience for many women who put fatigue, pain or discomfort down to just “being a woman”.

Couple this with the fact that gynaecological cancer research has been one of the most underfunded research types in decades and the outcomes can be devastating.

Gynaecological cancers are now some of the most lethal types of cancers for women in Australia.

That is why a donation to is one of the most impactful ways in which you can help change these devastating statistics and help women like Jane.

💜 Today is World Gynecologic Oncology Day

This year's theme, Support Not Stigma, is a reminder that no one facing a gynaecological cancer should feel alone.

More than 3 million women worldwide are living with a gynaecological cancer, and over 1 million are diagnosed each year. Yet stigma, lack of awareness and delayed diagnosis continue to impact outcomes. While overall cancer survival rates in Australia have improved over the past 25 years, survival rates for gynaecological cancers have remained largely unchanged. Greater investment in research is critical to improving outcomes for people affected by these diseases.

We're working alongside people with lived experience, researchers, clinicians and advocates to improve treatment, advance research and raise awareness of gynaecological cancers.

Together, we can challenge stigma, raise awareness and invest in the research needed to improve outcomes.

💜 Today is Vulvar Cancer Awareness Day

Vulvar cancer is rare, but its impact is significant. Every day, another woman in Australia is diagnosed with vulvar cancer.

📊 The facts:
• 427 women are diagnosed with vulvar cancer each year in Australia.
• 126 women lose their lives to the disease every year.
• More than 1,500 women are currently living with vulvar cancer.
• While the five-year survival rate is 74.7%, delays in diagnosis can dramatically reduce survival outcomes.

A powerful step forward for women affected by gynaecological cancer. 💜

Yesterday, more than 40 leaders from government, research, healthcare and advocacy joined women with lived experience at Australian Parliament House for Australia’s National Gynaecological Cancer Roundtable.

Convened by ANZGOG, the Roundtable brought together evidence, expertise and lived experience to help identify the shared priorities needed to drive meaningful change.

We were honoured to be joined by the Hon Rebecca White MP, Assistant Minister for Women, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, and Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health, who opened and closed the Roundtable.

The need for action is urgent. Every day in Australia:

• 19 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer
• Six women die from these diseases
• Diagnoses are projected to rise by 21% over the next decade

Guided by Equity, Evidence and Enablers, our discussions focused on two critical areas:

• Prevention and early diagnosis
• Living with cancer and care pathways

We are especially grateful to the women who so generously shared their experiences. Their voices ensured the realities of living with gynaecological cancer, and the impact on families and communities, remained at the heart of every conversation.

ANZGOG will now work with participants to capture the shared priorities and build a clear pathway to turn them into action.

Thank you to Assistant Minister White, every delegate, and each woman with lived experience who contributed to this landmark gathering.

United action. Shared priorities. Better outcomes.
