Business / Provider Profile
Ovarian Cancer Australia is the independent national organisation taking action for people affected by ovarian cancer.

We provide specialised support for women and their families, raise community awareness of ovarian cancer, advocate for improved services for women and promote and fund high impact research. Our vision is to save lives and ensure no woman with ovarian cancer walks alone.

Quick facts about ovarian cancer:
- More than 1,500 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year and more than 1,000 will die from the disease.
- In Australia, the overall five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer is 46%, making it the deadliest women's cancer. In comparison, the overall five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer is 89%.
- There has been no significant change in treatment options for women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer since the 1970s.

Ovarian Cancer Australia is a member of the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition, which works to raise awareness of ovarian cancer on a global scale.
