"You have cancer."

Every year, more than 14,000 West Australians will hear those words.

"You have cancer."

Every year, more than 14,000 West Australians will hear those words.

1 in 3 of us will die from cancer. And while there have been many advances in treating some cancers, the hardest-to-treat cancers are still taking our loved ones far too soon.

That’s why we’re asking you to email your MP and urge them to support the Perkins proposed Comprehensive Cancer Centre for West Australians.

While cancer treatment and care from doctors and nurses in Western Australia is world-standard, it is fragmented, disconnected and under pressure. The Perkins Comprehensive Cancer Centre for WA will provide world-leading research-driven care, putting you at the centre of your cancer treatment. Nowhere else in WA does this.

The Federal Government has already committed $375 million towards the Perkins WA Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Now, we need your support to urge the WA Government to match those funds so you and your loved ones can get the best cancer treatment, like they do in other states
