Welcome

On behalf of the Government of the State of Victoria, I look forward to welcoming participants in the World Conference for Cancer Organisations. The government of this state has a special focus on cancer through the "Cancer and Heart Offensive". The central idea of this initiative is coordination and cooperation among all the relevant parties, non-government and government, in achieving progress against cancer. It is therefore a great pleasure to note that the Government of Victoria is the principal government sponsor of a meeting dedicated to the problem of planning and organising to defeat cancer in our communities.

Marie Tehan
Minister for Health, Victoria
