Cancer and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Cancer Council Tasmania and Cancer Council Australia are continuing to monitor the public health risk posed by COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Cancer Council Tasmania understands that Tasmanians undergoing cancer treatment, cancer survivors, as well as their families and friends, may have questions in relation to how we are dealing with this issue.

Please note that the Cancer Council Tasmania support centre and retail shop is currently closed. For any queries regarding cancer support and information, please call 1300 65 65 85.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

One Australian is diagnosed with cancer every 5 minutes – that’s the length of your average tea break.

This May, you can make a difference to people affected by cancer by getting your colleagues, friends, family or community together and joining over 30,000 other hosts as you put on your Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea!

Big or small, sweet or savoury, at home or in the office, every dollar raised in Tasmania will stay in Tasmania and  will go towards funding life-saving cancer research, prevention and support programs.

So get started now and host your tea your way!
