Thankyou from the National Manager

The Minister announced on 16 June the Government’s intention to amalgamate the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre and Cancer Australia to form a stronger cancer agency. A transition period will begin immediately and during the transition to the single national agency, both Cancer Australia and NBOCC will continue with their current programs of work.

From the CEO

It has been some time since our last newsletter and there are many changes and achievements on which to provide an update. Firstly as you will be aware our inaugural CEO Professor David Currow has moved on from Cancer Australia to take up the CEO position at the Cancer Institute NSW. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David for all his hard work and leadership of Cancer Australia over the past 3 years and wish him well in his new role. 

From the National Manager

Welcome to another edition of the Gynae Cancer Centre News, which aims to keep you updated on the activities and projects of the National Centre for Gynaecological Cancers (NCGC).

National Manager's Introduction

Welcome to the first issue of the National Centre for Gynaecological Cancers Newsletter, a regular e-newsletter providing information about the Centre’s activities and the progress being achieved in our work to improve outcomes for women affected by gynaecological cancers, their families and carers, and to lessen the impact of cancer on their lives.

Cancer Australia continues to work to improve cancer outcomes, through implementing Australian Government cancer programs and working with numerous organisations around the country.

From the CEO

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have shown an interest in and contributed to the work of Cancer Australia in 2008 and to wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

We value greatly the relationships we have with people involved in cancer control activities across Australia, and know that your advice and support is pivotal in helping Cancer Australia achieve its objectives.

From the CEO

As the first half of the year has flown by, we find ourselves at the end of the financial year with many achievements completed, along with two new projects funded in the 2009-10 budget: a lung cancer program and a cancer data project that will managed collaboratively with the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our stakeholders and supporters for their continued contributions to the successful delivery of Cancer Australia’s work.
