Inherited Cancers Australia

As a national charity, we give people the opportunity to assess their cancer risk and support them with evidence-based information, so they are empowered to make informed decisions about their health.

We give people the one thing their DNA doesn’t: choice.

Beyond our direct support of our community, we work collaboratively with healthcare providers and affect positive change through our advocacy work, which is shaping perceptions and policies around Australia.

Our mission

To empower all Australians to understand and manage their inherited cancer risk by educating them about their health history, providing evidence-based resources, and connecting them to a supportive, nurturing community.

Our vision

Break the cycle of inherited cancer in Australian families.
