Ovarian Cancer Australia’s national Medical & Research Advisory Group is made up of health professionals who provide ongoing input to and support of Ovarian Cancer Australia's work.

The group ensures that Ovarian Cancer Australia's awareness programs reflect the most current international research and practises, and that support programs continue to be relevant to women with ovarian cancer, their families and friends.

The Medical & Research Advisory Group includes Australia's leading gynaecological oncologists, medical oncologists, researchers and nurses who work in the field of ovarian cancer.
