Research

At Cancer Council SA, we know that cancer research drives progress. From prevention through to treatment, survivorship and care, Cancer Council SA is committed to investing in research to reduce the rate and impact of cancer for South Australians and the broader community.

Investing in research

Tragically, most of us will be touched by cancer at some point in our lives with almost one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. That’s why continued investment in research is critical.

We are proud to work with leading research partners in South Australia to invest in world-class research happening right here in our state. Cancer Council SA is one of the state’s largest not-for-profit funders of cancer research supporting some of the state’s best and brightest cancer researchers conducting research across all aspects of cancer at Flinders University, the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and SAHMRI.

Behavioural research

Cancer Council SA’s team of dedicated behavioural researchers help us understand why people behave the way they do and their unique needs when it comes to cancer care which help to inform the development of our evidence-based programs, services and advocacy to better support all South Australians
