25.01.2022 We’re facing a drop of more than $20 million in funding to help people impacted by cancer, due to COVID-19. By holding a garage sale or market stall to sell something, you'll help us continue to provide our vital research and services to the people who need it most. Cleanse your wardrobe or declutter your garage. Whatever you choose to sell we’ll be here to help make your big sale a BIG success. Register now!

We’re proud to announce that last month our Reconciliation Action Plan was officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.

17.01.2022 Kids these days will never understand the pain of rewinding VHS tapes before taking them back to the video store! Things have definitely changed since the 80’s, but this National Skin Cancer Action Week we’re reminding Aussies that it’s still the same sun. Whenever the UV index is 3 or above, you need to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide. Post your favourite ‘80s movies below!

15.01.2022 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. About 3000 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year, putting it in the top 11 most common cancers. Research has shown that there are risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing pancreatic cancer, such as: Smoking Ageing... Type 2 diabetes Obesity Pancreatitis Certain types of cysts in the pancreatic duct Drinking too much alcohol Family history and certain inherited conditions Pancreatic cancer often only shows symptoms when it is advanced or affects nearby organs. We recommend you see your doctor if you are concerned about your pancreatic cancer risk. You can also learn more by visiting our website http://bit.ly/34muIJD

08.01.2022 The theme for #NAIDOC this year is Always Was, Always Will Be. The Cancer Institute NSW stands with our First Nations people in recognising and celebrating our country's rich cultural history. We are committed to helping communities put their health first. This year we want to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 5074 to participate in the National Bowel Screening Program. Detecting cancer early is important, and the simple test arrives in the post and can be done from home.
