About Cancer Council NSW

Cancer Council NSW (CCNSW) is a community funded and focused not for profit. We are the largest cancer charity in NSW and our point of difference is that we work across every area of every cancer, from research right through to support.

CCNSW is an inclusive place to volunteer and work. We embrace diversity, celebrate our differences, and inspire each person to be their authentic self at work. As we strive to represent the communities we serve, we welcome and actively encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other diverse groups.

About the team

CCNSW and The University of Sydney (USYD), have formed a Joint Venture, The Daffodil Centre (DC). CCNSW is Australia's largest cancer research organisation with established links to policymakers and internationally recognised researchers. USYD is Australia's first university and its Faculty of Medicine and Health (FMH) and Cancer Research Network include many of the world's leading researchers across all health disciplines.

The DC combines the complementary strengths of these two partners to concentrate cancer control research expertise, accelerating the partners' aims towards the realisation of a cancer free future. It is an exciting time to join the team!
