Collaborators and funders

Working together to fight childhood cancer in WA

As part of our Team WA approach, we work with leading organisations to advance childhood cancer research, clinical trials and support for families. Bringing together complementary expertise strengthens our ability to achieve better outcomes from children now and in the future.

We are excited to work closely with the Perkins Comprehensive Cancer Centre to ensure children and young adults experience a seamless transition from paediatric to adult cancer care, and to share research findings and clinical insights that benefit all cancer patients across WA.
