"Nothing about us without us"
Cancer Voices NSW provides the voice of people affected by cancer and is the peak coalition for NSW cancer consumer groups.
Founded in 2000, our purpose is to represent, and to act on, the needs and interests of people affected by cancer in our state and beyond, working in partnership with decision-makers. We focus on the areas of diagnosis, information, treatment, research, support and care, providing a consumer voice wherever cancer journey decisions are made.
