Cancer Australia (CA) is the Australian Governments national cancer control agency. CA aims to reduce the impact of all cancers and improve outcomes and experiences for all people affected by cancer. The agency is a respected thought leader in the sector and is uniquely positioned to provide robust, world-leading advice to the Australian Government on cancer policy priorities.

This position sits within the Cancer Control Strategy branch, within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cancer Control section. CA works closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to integrate First Nations perspectives and co-design improved cancer experiences and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
