Core values

- **Influencing Policy and Practice**: The Cancer Council's research and advocacy work have influenced national policies, refined treatment guidelines, and informed product development, which directly impacts health outcomes and practice[1][2].
- **Health Gains and Economic Benefits**: The projects have led to improvements in the length and quality of life for people with cancer, with 57% of participants reporting increased health gains. There are also broader economic benefits, including a high return on investment and leverage of additional funding[1].
- **Addressing Inequalities**: The Cancer Council focuses on reducing inequalities in cancer outcomes, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those living in disadvantaged areas. This includes addressing disparities in cancer mortality, comorbidities, and access to screening and treatment[4][5].
- **Community Engagement and Advocacy**: The organization engages with diverse communities, health professionals, and governments to develop evidence-based policies and advocate for system changes that improve cancer control and care[2].
