Our Vision

Why are you collecting funds?
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death of all gynaecological cancers. In Australia, ovarian cancer claims the life of one woman every ten hours. No simple or effective early screening method currently exists, meaning that most women are already in the advanced stages of the disease when diagnosed. The key to changing this statistic and giving women with ovarian cancer a better long-term outlook is early detection.

Established in May 2000 and led by eminent gynaecological oncology specialist, Associate Professor Thomas Jobling, and CEO/Co-Founder Liz Heliotis, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) aims to raise community awareness of this insidious disease and to develop and implement an early detection test that ultimately becomes as readily available and habitual as a pap smear or breast mammography in every woman's regular medical.
