Annual Report 07-08
The primary purpose of the Annual Report is to provide Members of Parliament and Senators with a detailed description of Cancer Australia’s activities during 2007-08 against the performance targets presented in the 2007-08 Portfolio Budget Statement.
Cancer Australia was established as a statutory authority in 2006, to help reduce the impact of cancer on all Australians.
In our second year, we have continued to focus our efforts to deliver better outcomes for people affected by cancer, and used Australian Government funds invested in our programs and our organisation to manage programs under the Australian Government’s National Cancer Plan, to provide national leadership in cancer control and add value in significant ways to the work of Australia’s cancer control community. Our most significant achievements in 2007-08 are highlighted in Section 1 of the report.
Our Vision
