CEO

Working closely with regional and remote communities in previous roles, I understand the inequities that remain across the country. I'm looking forward to improving equity in cancer outcomes, particularly through Cancer Council’s expanded cancer support services offering news ways for Australians to access the care that best meets their needs."

Jacinta Reddan
Chief Executive Officer

We are pleased to welcome Jacinta Reddan as Cancer Council Australia’s new Chief Executive Officer.

She has served on a number of boards and government and industry forums, bringing deep strategic and governance expertise.

Most recently, as CEO of Advance Cairns, Jacinta led a highly successful advocacy and economic development program for Far North Queensland. Her work brought together diverse stakeholders across federal, state and local government, industry and tourism, and key economic sectors in the region.

“Jacinta will bring great experience and commitment to maintaining and building strong relationships with government policy makers, the public health and cancer care sectors and people affected by cancer.
