We want to ensure the voice of patients and those affected by cancer is being heard

About Cancer Voices

Cancer Voices Victoria is a state-based advocacy organisation. It aims to provide a unified, independent voice for all Victorians affected by cancer. It is an umbrella for advocacy and support groups. Cancer patients, survivors, carers, medical providers, and any interested persons are welcome to be involved.

Cancer Voices started in the United Kingdom as an initiative of the MacMillan Trust, seeking to get patients, carers and families to make a difference for others - to be advocates for others in their cancer journey. It has spread to New Zealand and Australia with Cancer Voices New South Wales starting up six years ago.

There are now Cancer Voices groups in WA, ACT and Tasmania, with groups starting up in Queensland and Victoria, and discussions underway in SA. So we are part of a worldwide family of advocacy groups seeking to make a difference. We want to ensure that the voice of patients and those affected by cancer is being heard in policies and programs for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survival issues and research in the area of cancer.
