Cancer Council Victoria Help Line

Every year, more than 35,500 Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer, and 11,000 will die from cancer. The number of cases will increase as our population grows and ages. Survival will also improve as we get better at  early detection and  treatment of cancer.

Since our establishment in 1936, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in  cancer research,  prevention and  support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people.

• Quality research underpins everything we do.
