Welcome.
Cancer Council Tasmania is a community organisation that
works to minimise the impact of cancer on all Tasmanians |
House of Hope
This year Tasmanian businesses are again supporting the House of Hope project to
raise money for Tasmanian children in need. Businesses donate time, services or
equipment to complete the house, which this year is at Glebe Hill. It is then auctioned,
with proceeds going to Cancer Council Tasmania's Rachel and Jye Fund and Variety
the Children's Charity. For more information.

Mobile Information Support Service (MISS) Web site
Cancer Council Tasmania has hit the road to ensure Tasmanians get support
and information no matter where in the State they live.
Tasmania has the most distributed population of any state and MISS will allow us to bring services to those in remote areas to raise awareness and support those patients and carers living with cancer no matter where they are.

Make A Noise!
Bowel cancer kills 80 Australians every week, yet nearly all cases can be cured if found early.
The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program is currently only available to select age groups which means more than 5 million Australians are missing out on a simple test that could save their lives.
We believe every Australian over 50 has the right to a free National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.

Daffodil Day
One in three Tasmanians are directly affected by cancer in their
lifetime. Daffodil Day is a time to support family and friends with cancer and remember
those lost to the disease. It is also time to celebrate advances in cancer detection
and treatment. This year Daffodil Day is August 28 and we need your help. For Daffodil
Day merchandise or volunteering please call 1300 65 65 85 or email
.
