About your environment

Since our establishment in 1936, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in cancer research, prevention and support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people.

The Prevention Division aims to prevent cancer for all Victorians. This is done through community interventions, mass media, advocacy, training and providing policy advice based on the best available evidence. This involves action to affect individual behaviours and the broader physical and legislative environment to reduce cancer risk. We prioritise health inequalities, especially in relation to Aboriginal people, and in culturally diverse and socio-economically disadvantaged communities.

This is achieved through the delivery of public health programs relating to tobacco and e-cigarette control (Quit), obesity prevention (LiveLighter, Food for Health Alliance, Rethink Sugary Drink), sun protection (SunSmart, World Health Organisation Collaborative Centre for UV), cancer screening (bowel, breast and cervical), immunisation, (HPV, hepatitis B) alcohol and organisational change (Achievement Program).

The Quit program is a joint initiative of Cancer Council Victoria, the Department of Health and VicHealth. Quit’s purpose is to end the devasting impact of tobacco and vapes on Victorian people and communities.

The Quit program has been provided with funding from the Commonwealth Government to create a National Quit™ Cessation Hub, a national digital hub to support people who smoke and/or vape to quit
