National Cancer Prevention Policy
Cancer Council Australia’s National Cancer Prevention Policy (NCPP) provides evidence-based information for health professionals and policy makers on early detection and screening for cancer. The National Cancer Prevention Policy 2007-09 advocates for a concerted and comprehensive national approach to the prevention of cancer. It offers clear recommendations on how Australia can reduce the 106,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed each year.
The policy makes specific recommendations for national action by governments and non-government organisations, including programs and strategies to reduce the incidence of cancer. It does not provide information about cancer prevention for individuals. For further information or to download the National Cancer Prevention Policy 2007-09 please click here.
