Bowel Cancer Australia Information

Bowel Cancer Australia is a 100% community-funded national charity dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis, research, quality treatment & care so everyone affected by bowel cancer can live their best life. We are committed to championing what matters most to people affected by bowel cancer. Bowel Cancer Australia was named Best Small Charity of the Year 2019 at the national Third Sector Awards in recognition of its contribution to the third sector in a meaningful and impactful way that produces measurable benefits. The charity’s Home of Australia’s Second Deadliest Cancer won the 2019 ADMA Creativity & Effectiveness Award (AC&E) for Best Campaign - Not for Profit; the 2019 PRIA Golden Target Award Pro Bono Campaign – National Winner; and the 2019 Siren Client Award in recognition of its ability to cut-through the noise with a compelling story. In recognition of excellence in commitment and success in a health-focused mission, Bowel Cancer Australia was awarded NGO of the Year at the 2017 PRIME Annual Awards. Nomination and selection of a winner for the award was made by members of the healthcare industry, who gather each year to recognise the best and most effective work in Australian healthcare and pharmaceuticals. This is the third time Bowel Cancer Australia has been recognised by PRIME for excellence. In 2016, Bowel Cancer Australia was honoured for Excellence in Patient/Customer Support, following the release of the bowel cancer app. In 2014, the charity received the Corporate Social Responsibility Award for the My Cancer My Voice campaign. Determined to create positive change across the continuum of care, Bowel Cancer Australia continues to lead the call for timely access to colonoscopy; increased availability of affordable treatment options; and implementation of patient-reported experience and outcome measures.
