Cancer Council Tasmania and Cancer Council Australia are continuing to monitor the public health risk posed by COVID-19 (Coronavirus). You can read Cancer Council Australia’s updates HERE.

Find Cancer Early Tasmania
Find Cancer Early is our latest campaign, which aims to raise symptom awareness of some of the most common cancers affecting Tasmanians. Cancer survival outcomes for people living in regional Australia are, on average, 20-30 percent worse than Australians living in metropolitan areas. Take the time to learn the early symptoms of cancer. It might just save your life.

Relay For Life
Due to the high risk to public health currently posed by COVID-19 Cancer Council Tasmania has made the decision to cancel all Relay For Life events in Tasmania. We have taken the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and we are sure this decision is in the best interests of the wider community. While understanding the importance of this much-loved event to the local community, the health and safety of our supporters, volunteers and staff is always the most important consideration for us at Cancer Council Tasmania . We will continue to monitor the situation and act in accordance with advice from the Tasmanian and Federal Government’s.
