Our vision for a better future

At Flinders Foundation, we dream of a day when cancer is a chapter in the history books.

We know itā€™s an almost impossible dream, but we wonā€™t give up. So weā€™ve adjusted the goalposts instead.

Our vision is to help people live longer and happier lives with the ones they love.

Thatā€™s why we built the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer (FCIC) ā€“ a place where patients, researchers and clinicians work together to create positive impacts in cancer.

The FCIC is more than an impressive glass building. Itā€™s a hub of excellence and innovation where cutting-edge research meets compassionate care. Itā€™s a place that treats the whole person, not just the disease.

Itā€™s a place where hope and healing is a part of its DNA.

  • Made a breakthrough discovery in glioblastoma research, testing new treatments to see how tumour cells behave
  • Discovered a link between red meat and cancer, leading to dietary recommendations for prevention
  • Developed a bowel cancer test that contributed to the national screening program
  • Saved the Australian health system over $100 million by using precision medicine to tailor doses for each patient
  • Conducted behavioural science studies to promote skin cancer prevention and awareness
  • Established Australiaā€™s first survivorship program to help people with cancer recover and thrive
