Real stories. Real learning. Real impact. 💬

Since launching in Australia in 2017 and New Zealand in 2021, ANZGOG's Survivors Teaching Students (STS) program has connected people with lived experience of gynaecological cancer directly with the next generation of health professionals.

Together, we've achieved:

✅ Reached more than 25,000 medical, nursing and allied health students
✅ Created a community of 117 volunteers across Australia and New Zealand
✅ Partnered with 23 universities to deliver the program
✅ Provided ongoing training and support to volunteers sharing their stories

Every presentation helps our future doctors and nurses better understand the human impact of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, fostering more compassionate, patient-centred care.

A heartfelt thank you to every STS volunteer who has generously shared their story, time and lived experience. Your courage and commitment are helping shape a more compassionate healthcare workforce for the future.

Because when future health professionals learn from lived experience, everyone benefits.

Last Thursday was a special one for ANZGOG | WomenCan 💜

Our board and community came together to celebrate a new chapter, thanking Alison Evans for almost 15 years of leadership as our CEO, and welcoming Caitlin Francis into the role.

There were reflections, warm words and plenty of appreciation for how far we have come together. ANZGOG Chair, Prof Clare Scott AM, officially welcomed Caitlin, and both Alison and Caitlin shared what the moment means to them.

To Alison, thank you. Your vision and dedication have shaped ANZGOG and strengthened gynaecological cancer research across Australia and New Zealand. To Caitlin, welcome. We look forward to the next chapter 💜

"If we had not done research 50 years ago, we would not have the advancements and medical knowledge we have today."

From everyone here at ANZGOG | WomenCan, thank you to everyone who donated to our EOFY appeal! 🙏

Because of you, we raised over $135,000 of funding for life-saving research, so women with gynaecological cancers aren't left with the same old treatments, the same old drugs, and the same poor survival rate.

Hear from ANZGOG Director Prof Alison Brand AM on why that matters. 💜

Many ANZGOG members are trekking New Zealand's Fiordland this February, including leading oncologists and surgeons who work with gynaecological cancer patients every day.

Each of them knows the importance of funding research.

That's why from 18 to 21 February 2027, they'll form part of a small team hiking sections of the Kepler and Routeburn Tracks, cruising Milford Sound, and taking on New Zealand's wilderness, to raise vital funds for lifesaving research.

They're doing it for the 19 women diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer every day in Australia, and the six who lose their lives to it.

Only four spots remain, so if you've been thinking about joining, this is your time.

Together, we must do more 🖤💛❤️

This NAIDOC Week, we honour the endurance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the oldest continuous cultures on Earth, and we reflect on what the next 50 years must look like in health equity.

Because right now, the data tells us the work isn't done.

First Nations women are:
⚫ 1.5x more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer
🟡 3.4x more likely to die from cervical cancer
🔴 1.2x more likely to face uterine cancers and their impacts

These numbers reflect real people. And changing them requires the same commitment that has driven this movement for five decades: refusing to accept inequality as inevitable.

At ANZGOG | WomenCan, we're committed to ensuring every woman has access to the best possible treatment opportunities, no matter where she lives or who she is.

🎗️ Most people have never heard of gynaecological sarcomas. It’s time that changed.

Gynaecological sarcomas are rare, aggressive, often overlooked and frequently diagnosed too late.

💜 Most start in the uterus and can be hard to detect.
👉 Know the signs. Trust your body. Speak to your doctor if something feels different for you.

📣 This Month, please share this post and help us raise awareness for this unknown, under-funded, under-recognised disease. Awareness is the first step to saving lives.

"I'm 31," she remembers thinking. "I shouldn't be dealing with all this stuff at my age."

Ella was busy with her work, her social life and her relationship – when extreme abdominal pain led to a diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

A year after her treatment, Ella was hit with a wave of grief she hadn't expected. She quit her job. She went through a severe bout of depression. She cried at nappy ads and when she saw parents with young children in the street.

Ella's story is not unique. Uterine cancers are on the rise among young women, and research funding is nowhere near where it needs to be.

Your tax-deductible donation to WomenCan before 30 June can fund the research that stops this happening to more women like Ella 💜
