As Australia's peak national non-government cancer control* organisation, The Cancer Council Australia advises the Australian Government and other bodies on practices and policies to help prevent, detect and treat cancer. They also advocate for the rights of cancer patients for best treatment and supportive care.
The Cancer Councils are the leading independent funders of cancer research in Australia, granting more than $49 million to cancer research, research scholarships and fellowships in 2008.
The Australia-wide network of health professionals, the Australian Cancer Network (ACN) develops guidelines to provide the best evidence based treatment and care for cancer patients. They also work closely with their clinical partner, the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia , to ensure recommendations on cancer care incorporate the advice of experienced cancer specialists across the full range of medical and scientific disciplines.
