    Every year, more than 30,500 Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 11,000 will die from cancer. The number of cases will increase as our population grows and ages. Survival will also improve as we get better at early detection and treatment of cancer.Since our establishment in 1936, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in cancer research, prevention and support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people.Source: this is an extract from the company’s own website.

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Cancer Council VIC offers a supportive and flexible working environment with a strong focus on work-life balance. Employees particularly value working alongside talented and committed colleagues while contributing to a meaningful cause that helps those affected by cancer. The organisation maintains a positive culture with modern facilities and hybrid working arrangements that staff appreciate.

    As with many not-for-profit organisations, Cancer Council VIC faces some operational challenges related to limited funding and resources. The flat organisational structure can impact career progression opportunities, and workload management can be challenging during busy periods. These constraints are typical of the NFP sector and are balanced against the organisation's meaningful mission and flexible work environment.
