The Cancer Institute NSW is the largest funder of cancer research in the state. We support cancer research investment, collect and manage data, and partner with others to reduce the impact of cancer in NSW.
We provide grants, support clinical trials and invest in cutting-edge translational research. These investments turn innovation into action—improving cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment outcomes and care for people affected by cancer.
We also oversee cancer data registries and collections. This provides insight into incidence, outcomes, screening, trends and risk factors in NSW. This data is a powerful tool that is available to use to drive meaningful improvements in cancer control.
Our partnerships create a stronger, more connected cancer control system. Our partners include health services, universities, researchers, non-government organisations and community groups. By working together, we help deliver care that reflects people's needs and leads to better cancer outcomes across NSW.
