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.

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!

Relay For Life is returning to Casey Fields and Michael is one of the hundreds of participants gearing up to help make strides towards a cancer-free future.

An avid long-distance runner, Michael and his family have been fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria for almost 15 years. But recently, Michael’s involvement has taken on an extra level of significance after his own experience with prostate cancer.

Following surgery, and now cancer-free, Michael is passionate about spreading the word around awareness and routine testing, as he continues his family’s growing Relay for Life tradition.

“Relay is a big part of my year and my life. For my family and I, it’s about fighting cancer and setting ourselves a challenge. Sure, you may be uncomfortable for a night but that’s part of the challenge and what makes it rewarding - and it’s nothing when you consider what people living with cancer have to go through and why we’re doing it. That’s why we’re so proud to fundraise every year.” – Michael.

Proudly supported by the City of Casey, the annual event at Casey Fields runs overnight, from 6pm Saturday 25 October to 12pm Sunday 26 October at Casey Fields Regional Athletics Centre.

🫁 It’s good to know: Lung cancer screening is free and could save your life!

We’ve partnered with NACCHO Aboriginal Health Australia, ACON, The Australian Multicultural Health Collaborative, Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia to launch a new campaign, supported by the Australian Government, to raise awareness of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Australia, but with lung screening we can change this. If found early, over 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.

If you're aged 50 to 70 and have a history of smoking, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about lung screening.

This National Carers Week, we’re shining a light on those who walk alongside people living with cancer. Carers often carry a heavy load as they manage complex healthcare needs, rising costs, and reduced income.

For Nora, being a carer was a rewarding experience, but it also felt like standing on a road with cars constantly speeding past. She was already working full-time and caring for young children when her father was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. Alongside her four siblings, Nora quickly took on the role of his carer.

She continued working while navigating her father’s care needs. Unable to get enough sleep, Nora experienced dizzy spells as she juggled everything on her plate.

“I knew that it was a lack of sleep and lack of self-care, but how do you do that when you have a job to do? We relied on each other to provide that 24-hour care – we couldn’t leave him without that.”

Nora is urging other carers to reach out for support, and not to feel selfish for taking care of themselves. Whether it’s connecting with someone who’s been through a peer-support program like Cancer Connect or reaching out to a cancer counselling service, there are ways to get the help you need.

"Back in 2008, I hosted my very first Girls' Night In to support Cancer Council. I did it in honour of my amazing mum who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, then again in 2023.

Just over 10 years ago, I found out I carry the BRCA-2 gene, just like my mum. That’s why every October I wear pink every day to raise awareness and spark conversations about women’s cancer.

As a teacher, I’ve had the joy of seeing students and colleagues join in, as well as my supporters who show up year after year.

We’ve now raised more than $20,000 for live-saving research, treatment, prevention and support services.💗"

Finding better ways to treat the whole person and not just the cancer can make a huge difference to health and wellbeing during treatment.

That's why we fund a whole range of research projects looking for better, more effective ways for people to survive and thrive after a cancer diagnosis.

This Father’s Day, Paul is grateful to be here with his wife and three kids, thanks to a simple test in the mail.

Just after turning 50, Paul received his first free bowel cancer screening kit. He did the test straight away, and it came back negative. Two years later, another kit arrived. Paul once again didn’t hesitate – but this time, the result was positive.

A colonoscopy revealed a large polyp, and further tests confirmed bowel cancer.

“I'm lucky that I got treated early. I have spoken to many other cancer survivors since my own diagnosis who haven’t been as lucky. Some have fought cancer for multiple years, have required full bowel resections and now live with a stoma,” he said.

It has been almost three years since Paul's surgery, and although he is still under observation, he remains cancer free.

This Father’s Day, remind the Dads in your life to do their bowel cancer screening test. It could save their life.

If you’re aged 45-74, you are eligible to do the free at-home test. Visit www.cancervic.org.au/bowel for more information.
