Cancer #1 Priority
Labor
Give skin cancer the priority it deserves
Enhance cancer care navigation
Invest in cancer prevention
Reduce financial burden for cancer patients and carers
Greater investment in clinical trials
Support the mental health and wellbeing of people living  with cancer

*Our voices were heard. These announcements are a good start, but there’s still more to be done. No party has committed to 100% of any of the above priorities.
When these changes from the State Government are combined with the work we do here at Cancer Council WA, such as funding world-class local research, running prevention programs and providing essential support services, we’ll be closer to our vision of a future without cancer.
We’ll continue to fight for better cancer outcomes on your behalf so that in the future, no family loses a loved one to this devastating disease.
