Who we are
We are Pankind
Pankind is exclusively dedicated to improving outcomes for everybody affected by pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is the toughest common cancer and survival rates have barely improved in decades. People diagnosed have faced limited treatment options and overwhelming uncertainty. We’re here to change that.
Together with our partners and community, we’re confronting pancreatic cancer head-on.
Triple survival rates by 2030
and improve the quality of life for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer.By funding cutting-edge research, driving awareness, and advocating for better access to life-saving treatments, we’re ensuring pancreatic cancer gets the focus it deserves.
What we do
Pioneering Research
Pioneering Research
We invest in the best scientists and drive the research agenda in Australia to deliver early detection breakthroughs and new treatment possibilities.
We have invested over $20M across 76 projects, guided by our Scientific Advisory Panel, which brings together leading pancreatic cancer experts from Australia and around the world.
We are pushing boundaries to create a brighter future.
Compassionate Support
We create accessible, evidence-based resources that help people and families navigate their pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment, providing support every step of the way.
Our dedicated support navigator helps empower families to feel more confident navigating the health system and understanding their options during an incredibly challenging time.
We can’t take the diagnosis away, but we can walk alongside every person facing it.
Impactful Advocacy
For us, advocacy is more than speaking up - it’s about standing with people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, their families, and everyone impacted by this disease.
We work alongside our community to ensure that voices are heard, needs are met, and lives are valued - driving systemic change so everyone, regardless of postcode or income, can access the best pancreatic cancer research, care and support.
At Pankind, we don’t just advocate for change. We work every day to make it happen.
Relentless Awareness
We bring pancreatic cancer out of the shadows and into focus. Through national campaigns, education and community engagement, we’re increasing understanding and enabling earlier detection.
Progress starts with visibility. Every person reached, every story told, every conversation sparked is a step closer to better outcomes.
