Acknowledgement of Country
Cancer Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to Ancestors and Elders, past and present.
We celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the land, water and community.
Cancer Australia acknowledges that there is no single Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture or group and that there are many tribes, communities, language groups and kinships throughout Australia.
We acknowledge and thank the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have led and contributed to the development of the information, videos and resources on this website.

Ways to help protect against cancer
COVID-19 and Cancer
Help protect yourself, your family and your community
People with cancer are more vulnerable to COVID-19 and are at an increased risk of more severe infection. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting yourself from getting really sick from COVID-19. The vaccine will help to protect you, your family and community against COVID-19.
