Cancer Council Australia is a national, nonprofit organisation which aims to promote cancer-control policies and to reduce the illness caused by cancer in Australia. It advises various groups, including the government, on cancer-related issues, acts as an advocate for cancer patients and their friends, and is a major funding contributor towards health research, prevention and education.

Background

Cancer Council Australia formed in 1961 as an incorporated association trading as Australian Cancer Society, when the six state cancer councils, of which had separate identities, agreed to federate with the goal 'to promote cancer control at the national level.'[Note 1] The cancer councils of the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory were subsequently formed and joined the Society. In 1997, all eight members agreed to expand the Society and rebrand as The Cancer Council Australia and appointed Alan Coates its inaugural CEO. By 2008, the organisation migrated from an incorporated association to become a registered company, dropping 'the' from its name and rebranding as Cancer Council Australia, which it has since retained.[1][2][3]

Cancer Council Australia includes eight member organisations, which operate in their individual states and territories:

Dietary advice

Cancer Council Australia advocates a diet rich in plant-based foods to prevent cancer such as at least two servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables, including legumes and at least four servings of whole grains per day.[4] They also encourage people to consume at least two and a half servings of dairy products per day and at least two servings of oily fish per week.[5][6]

Cancer Council Australia advice people to limit their processed meat and red meat intake as they increase risk of bowel cancer.[7][8] Cancer Council Australia has recognized the importance of vitamin D sufficiency but has hesitated to endorse specific guidelines on exposure to ultraviolet B from solar exposure.[9]

Events

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

One of Cancer Council's major fundraisers is Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. On 26 May 2005, the event broke the Guinness Book of Records record for the "World's Largest Simultaneous Tea Party" with around 1 million Australians participating and supporting Cancer Council on the day.[10][11]

Daffodil Day

Daffodil Day is the Australian Cancer Council's most iconic fund-raising event. It takes place in August each year.[12]

Junk Free June

Junk Free June was a fundraiser held in 2016, prioritising healthy habits and supporting Cancer Council Queensland's work in cancer research. Junk Free June encouraged participants to give up junk food such as packaged snacks high in sugar, refined carbohydrates and trans fats.[13][14] According to World Cancer Research Fund International, approximately one third of the most common cancers can be prevented through a nutritious diet and maintaining a healthy weight and regular physical activity.[15][16]

Legacy

The Cancer Council has contributed a lot to Australia's society by helping people who are suffering with cancer or any cancerous illness. The Clive Deverall Society[17] was launched in 2004 by the Cancer Council Western Australia as a way of thanking people who have included a gift in their Will to Cancer Council Western Australia.
