"Australia needs a Stronger PBS to give Australians a better chance at life when faced with serious diseases." – Meredith Cummins, CEO of NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia. More than 29,350 Australians are currently living with neuroendocrine cancer. This cancer often goes undiagnosed for years due to its wide range of symptoms, meaning many people don’t receive the right treatment until the disease has advanced. A StrongerPBS would mean faster access to newly approved medicines for those facing neuroendocrine cancer and other serious conditions, allowing for timely treatment that can make all the difference.

About us
Formerly the Unicorn Foundation, NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia is the only Australian not-for-profit medical charity focused on neuroendocrine tumours (NET). Formed in 2009, our mission is to improve awareness of neuroendocrine tumours within the medical profession and the general public; foster patient understanding through support groups and raise much needed funding for Australian research in this area. Fortunately, the Australian medical landscape is changing with regards to neuroendocrine tumours with many physicians (Oncologists, Endocrinologists, Gastroenterologists, Radiation Oncologists), Surgeons, Radiologists and Nuclear medicine physicians gaining experience and knowledge. We hope we can work closely, on behalf of neuroendocrine tumour patients and their families with the medical community to achieve our mission.
