Bowel Cancer Australia

Bowel Cancer Australia is dedicated to championing what matters most to people impacted by bowel (colorectal) cancer and empowering everyone affected to live their best life. We are committed to challenging perceptions, overcoming barriers, and creating meaningful change across the care continuum through advocacy, awareness, and integrated research to improve access to personalised treatments and patient-centred care. For more than 25 years, Bowel Cancer Australia has been making bold strides towards the elimination of Australia’s second deadliest cancer - turning advocacy into action, awareness into meaningful change, and overcoming inequities in bowel cancer care with responsive patient support. In the area of cancer control, Bowel cancer Australia’s key activities include: • implementing dynamic campaigns to raise awareness and motivate action; • increasing health knowledge and understanding through the provision of information and resources; • empowering people with the tools to be advocates for their own health; • providing practical and emotional support for the growing number of Australians affected by bowel cancer, building communities through shared experiences and creating a powerful voice for change; and • campaigning for access to personalised treatment and patient-centred care, to ensure more people live beyond bowel cancer.
