World Ovarian Cancer Day
World Ovarian Cancer Day unites communities around the world, coming together as a collective voice to share stories, raise awareness and advocate for improvements in diagnosis, treatment and care for those affected by ovarian cancer.
Established in 2013 by the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition, this internationally recognised day is now supported by more than 200 organisations worldwide. It is an opportunity to amplify the voices of our community and shine much needed light on ovarian cancer.
This #WOCD2026, we continue to champion the global theme No Woman Left Behind — highlighting the urgent need to address inequities in ovarian cancer care and outcomes. No woman should have her symptoms dismissed, face delays in diagnosis, or miss out on quality care because of where she lives.
At Ovarian Cancer Australia, we are committed to changing the future of ovarian cancer - advocating for greater investment in research, improving access to effective and affordable treatments - to one day know a future free from ovarian cancer. And until that day, we continue to provide vital clinical and psychological support, walking with women and their loved ones.
Progress is being made, but more must be done to translate growing awareness and education into action and investment. World Ovarian Cancer Day recognises this is everyone's responsibility. Please stand with us this World Ovarian Cancer Day - wear teal and start important conversations as we unite in solidarity with the global ovarian cancer community. Together, we can drive change and ensure that no woman is left behind.
