      • Cancer Australia is the lead cancer control agency to the Government of Australia. The organisation was founded to raise cancer awareness to support those affected by cancer within Australia and its territories. The main focus of the organisation is to advise the Government on cancer control, develop policies, and to assist those living with cancer. In order to accomplish this, Cancer Australia works with many government and non-government organisations.
      Cancer Australia collaborates with a wide range of groups, including those affected by cancer, service providers with an interest in cancer control, as well as stakeholders. The agency also focuses on populations who experience poorer health outcomes, including Indigenous Australians living in remote areas within Australia. In August 2015 Cancer Australia, along with the Australian Government, launched the first national Children's Cancer website.
