Welcome. The Cancer Council Tasmania is a community organisation that works to minimise the impact of cancer on all Tasmanians.

Income from Australia 's Biggest Morning Tea underpins our annual funding of Tasmanian-based cancer research projects Visit www.biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 to register and host a morning tea at work, school or at home.

Atrazine
The Cancer Council Tasmania brought Professor Bernard Stewart to Tasmania to share his expertise on the herbicide atrazine and to hear the community's views. Prof Stewart and the Cancer Council are independent of government and have no agenda beyond providing the community with evidence-based advice on cancer and its causes. The good news is that there is no evidence of a link between atrazine and cancer. This is not a comment on whether atrazine is safe or not in our waterways - that's for others with different expertise to judge.

Volunteers very welcome
Become a Cancer Council volunteer, make a difference and have some fun. The Cancer Council Tasmania has more than 400 volunteers across the state but new faces are always welcome. Making a difference in the fight against cancer only takes as much time as you can afford. For more information

Don't use solariums
The Cancer Council Tasmania says people should not use solariums for tanning under any circumstance. All forms of ultraviolet (UV) radiation contribute to skin cancer, and a solarium tan is induced by UV radiation.
No solarium gives a safe tan; solariums may emit much higher concentrations of UV radiation than the sun.
