Cancer Council Tasmania

Cancer Council Tasmania is a not-for-profit organisation which is more than 90% funded by the generous support of the Tasmanian community. Our mission is to minimise the incidence and impact of cancer on all Tasmanians and we aim to do this through advocacy, raising awareness of cancer prevention issues, offering support and information for those impacted by cancer and supporting Tasmanian based research. 

Cancer Council Tasmania has the following projects in progress for which we are seeking further funding –

Financial Assistance Scheme –aims to assist Tasmanians diagnosed with cancer by reducing the financial burden associated with their diagnosis and treatment.  This scheme offers a short term emergency payment towards an unpaid essential household account (electricity, 6 month car registration, telephone) to assist people living with cancer who are experiencing financial hardship

Outreach Support Services – we aim to meet the needs of Tasmanians requiring Cancer Council Tasmania Support  to access services in their local community. We currently have staff available once a month in 9 locations around Tasmania and would like to increase this program. 

Community Speakers Program – trained  volunteers  represent Cancer Council Tasmania to promote cancer prevention and health promotion messages to help Tasmanians reduce their cancer risk.cancer

Education Sessions – providing educational sessions and workshops to those Tasmanians impacted  by a cancer diagnosis.

Consider Leaving a Gift in Your Will

Cancer is one of the most important health issues facing our generation, with a challenging emotional and practical impact on our everyday lives. On average, more than eight Tasmanians are newly diagnosed with cancer every day . At these rates it is expected that one in two Tasmanian men and women will be diagnosed with  cancer by the age of 85. By leaving a gift in your Will you will be helping in the fight against cancer. With all funds raised in Tasmania staying in the State  to support  Tasmanians, your funds will assist  Cancer Council Tasmania  achieve our  mission to ‘minimise the incidence and impact of  cancer on all Tasmanians’.
