Cancer can affect anyone. But the good news is, finding cancer early gives you the best chance of getting better.

It’s important to act early for our Mob’s health as the earlier cancer is found, the better.

People with cancer are more vulnerable to COVID-19 and are at an increased risk of more severe infection. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting yourself, family and community.

Cancer Australia is committed to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to reduce the impact of cancer on Indigenous Australians. We have a range of resources which provide information to support you and the work you do.

This Framework identifies the national priorities for the many communities, organisations and governments whose combined efforts are required to address the disparities and improve cancer outcomes for Indigenous Australians.  

The information incorporates the most up-to-date data available to describe the incidence, mortality, survival and prevalence of cancer in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  The ICD-10 cancer codes associated with ‘All cancers combined’ and individual cancer types can be found on their respective pages.
