Here’s how we’re working to reduce the rate and impact of cancer

Cancer prevention programs

Up to one in three cancers diagnosed are preventable. Cancer Council SA is committed to delivering a range of programs and campaigns to help South Australians reduce their cancer risk and find cancer early. We also advocate for healthier environments to reduce the risk of cancer for South Australians.

Support for individuals and families

Cancer Council SA is here for all South Australians with a range of services and trustworthy information to help you through every stage of a cancer experience – from diagnosis to treatment and life after cancer.
