Who we are
At Pankind, we are relentless advocates for Australians affected by pancreatic cancer. As the only foundation in the country solely dedicated to this cause, we’re driven by one clear mission: to triple pancreatic cancer survival rates by 2030 and dramatically improve the quality of life for all impacted.
Through groundbreaking research, tireless advocacy, and continuous support, we’re tackling the systemic challenges that have long hindered progress. We champion fairness and innovation, ensuring that people living with pancreatic cancer have access to effective treatments, early diagnoses, and a community that stands beside them every step of the way.
Together with our partners, supporters, and the courageous individuals living with pancreatic cancer, we’re rewriting the narrative of this disease. We’re making real progress toward a future where pancreatic cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis but a challenge we’re ready to overcome.
Join us as we push boundaries, inspire hope, and create meaningful change.
