About Us

Ovarian Cancer Australia is a national not-for-profit organisation providing support and advocacy for people affected by ovarian cancer, and is the peak body for ovarian cancer awareness and prevention. Our programs are focused in these important areas:

• Promoting awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms in the community - giving Australian women and their healthcare providers a better understanding of the early signs of ovarian cancer
• Providing support networks and resources to women and their families and friends affected by ovarian cancer
• Advocating with medical professionals, government and the media for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Each year in February we run a national Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month of events, media campaigns and community activities to highlight the symptoms of ovarian cancer and to promote our programs.
