Welcome to Cancer Council ACT

Cancer Council ACT is a non government not-for-profit community organisation that aims to promote a healthier community by reducing the incidence and impact of cancer in the ACT region. The Council depends largely on the generosity of the ACT and surrounding community providing donations and supporting fundraising initiatives.
Visit us in person at 5 Richmond Ave Fairbairn Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. You can purchase high quality sun protection products for all the family at our shop front at Fairbairn or from our online shop by clicking here.
