Provides the independent voice of people affected by cancer in NSW, working to improve the cancer experience of the 50,000 people who, according to official projections, will be diagnosed in our state each year. Established in 2000, we focus on the areas of prevention, diagnosis, information, treatment, research, support and care, survivorship and policy. To achieve this we work in partnership with decision makers and providers of these services, ensuring the patient perspective is heard from planning to delivery.
