What’s new – January 2025

What’s new in January, with links to support, information and other items of interest.


4 February is World Cancer Day.

World Cancer day tile 'United in our challenges, unique in our triumphs'
Everyone experiences cancer differently. This is the message behind the new 2025-2027 World Cancer Day campaign, ‘United by Unique’. Cancer is not just a medical condition, it’s a deeply personal challenge, with each diagnosis carrying a unique story of struggle, strength, healing, and love. Every cancer experience is different, and it will take all of us, united, to build a world where we see the person before the patient. Together, through compassion and understanding, we can achieve the best health outcomes. Visit the World Cancer Day website to discover ways that you can get involved.

The survey aims to gather data on the costs that people have incurred during their care, including the direct and indirect costs, along with the costs associated with their changing financial circumstances. Cancer Council Australia will use the results of this research in their policy and advocacy work to reduce the financial impact of cancer in Australia. The study should take no more than 30 minutes to complete.   

Participants will not be asked to provide any personally identifiable information. Study closes 31 January. 

 Take part in the survey here on Survey Monkey.
