National Cancer Prevention Policy

The National Cancer Prevention Policy makes specific recommendations for national action by governments and non-government organisations, including programs and strategies to reduce the incidence of specific preventable cancer types. (It does not provide information about cancer prevention for individuals.)

The National Cancer Prevention Policy is separated into chapters on primary prevention, screening and immunisation. These are mostly PDFs. However we are gradually replacing the PDFs with new wiki-based chapters that are continually updated as new evidence emerges.

If you want further information about how you can reduce your risk of common cancers, visit the Cancer smart lifestyle section or call Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.
