Cancer Council Victoria

Cancer Council Victoria is a cancer charity committed to preventing cancer, empowering people and saving lives. Prevent Cancer. Empower Patients. Save Lives.

Every year, more than 30,500 Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 11,000 will die from cancer. The number of cases will increase as our population grows and ages. Survival will also improve as we get better at early detection and treatment of cancer. Since our establishment in 1936, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in cancer research, prevention and support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people.

Ever since she first picked up a putter at the age of four, Danika immediately knew she wanted to spend as much time on the golf course as possible.

And this week, thanks to her involvement in The Longest Day, Danika will get just that opportunity… as she looks forward to taking on a whopping 72 holes of golf in a single day, all to raise money for cancer research.

A professional golfer by trade, Danika’s eagerness to get involved with the Longest Day campaign extends beyond her love of the sport. She has a far more personal connection – earlier this year, her mum Sharon was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she is currently undertaking radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

“It’s not just a chance to fundraise and do my bit to raise money and awareness for cancer research, it’s about honouring people like my mum… those who are going through a cancer diagnosis as well as their friends and family who are on that journey with them.”

For more details on how you too can get involved, as well as show your support for others, head to the Longest Day website: www.longestday.org.au

When Jo was diagnosed with breast cancer at Christmas she kept the news to herself, worried she’d ruin the celebrations for her family.

She was the same age her mother was when she was also diagnosed with breast cancer.

“In a turn of fate, my mastectomy was scheduled for the exact anniversary of my mother’s passing – January 14,” she said.

Jo says the reason she’s alive today is because of research.

“But there’s still so much to do so women like me don’t only survive but live great lives, that’s why I hope you’ll give to support research.”

This Christmas give the gift of hope. Your gift can fund research that saves lives like Jo's.

According to our Victorian Cancer Registry (VCR), more than 3,000 Victorians were diagnosed with melanoma in 2023. More than 164,000 treatments for other forms of skin cancer were recorded in this same year.

But the good news is skin cancer is almost entirely preventable by using the five forms of sun protection: Slip into sun-protective clothing, Slop on SPF50+ sunscreen, Slap on a broad-brimmed hat, Seek shade, and Slide on sunglasses.

Make sure to protect yourself when the UV is 3 and above ☀️

Andrew’s dad first got him into golf. Last week Andrew teed off in his memory for The Longest Day challenge, raising more than $5,000 for Cancer Council Victoria.

“Now I’m using The Longest Day to raise awareness, not just of cancer, but of the importance of getting a specialist cancer diagnosis,” he said.

He’s also faced his own diagnosis – a spindle cell sarcoma – which sees him driving from Phillip Island to Mornington for radiation treatment.

“Whether you play golf or not, it’s about coming together to support a cause that touches us all.”

Grab your mates and support lifesaving research by challenging yourself to 72 holes of golf this November and December.

Keep hydrated, keep sun safe, and keep swinging 🏌️

This year marks 40 years of Quit and 40 years of impactful change ✨

In 1985, smoking was far more accepted than it is now. Today, daily smoking rates are less than a third of what they were back then.

From smoke-free venues to world-first plain packaging, Quit has helped drive lasting change. But the job’s not done. Smoking remains a leading cause of preventable cancer, and va**ng presents a new challenge.

Whether you’re quitting, helping a mate, or pushing for change, Quitline is here for you. Call 📞 13 7848 or visit quit.org.au

Amongst the hundreds of eager participants expected at Casey Fields is Rhonda – who has been a fixture of Relay for Life for more than 20 years.

Rhonda started her Relay journey more than 10 years ago after being diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer in 2002, enduring seven months of intense chemotherapy.

“Being a survivor gave me the determination to fight back, to do the best I can, to help others, and pay back. I don’t think I’ll ever stop, because it means so much to me. I just want to raise money for research and hope that we can help others.” – Rhonda.

Throughout the years, Rhonda has been recognised for her generous fundraising efforts and dedication to Relay for Life – and this year, she’s excited to be cutting the ribbon to officially begin the festivities!
