Our Mission
Brain Tumour Alliance Australia unites and strengthens the voices of the brain tumour community to drive better outcomes for all
affected.
As the peak brain tumour advocacy body, we support, inform, and represent people living with brain tumours, their families, care givers, and the professionals who care for them. We connect people, organisations, and government to foster collaboration and build awareness. We educate the community and inform decision-makers to shape policy and better outcomes. By uniting lived experience with expertise, we champion the needs of the brain tumour community to achieve lasting improvements in research, clinical care and support.
Our Vision
A future where every person affected by a brain tumour is educated, empowered, and supported with the best possible care.
Brain Tumour Alliance Australia envisions a community strengthened by knowledge and collaboration, enabled by equitable access to clinical trials and treatment options, and bolstered by adequate funding and research. We work toward a future where the burden of disease is reduced, and patients, families, and care givers experience optimal outcomes.
