We are Pankind
Together with our partners and community, we’re confronting pancreatic cancer head-on. Making progress a reality through groundbreaking research, compassionate support, impactful advocacy and relentless awareness.
Because when the stakes are this high, action isn’t just important—it’s essential and urgent.
Pancreatic cancer is the toughest common cancer, and for too long, progress has lagged behind. Survival rates have barely improved in decades, leaving people diagnosed feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. We’re determined to change this. We are the only Australian organisation solely dedicated to improving outcomes for those affected by pancreatic cancer.
Our mission
Our mission is bold and clear: to triple survival rates by 2030 and significantly improve the quality of life for all those impacted by this devastating disease. 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.
Join us
Every action makes a difference. Whether you choose to advocate, share your story or donate, your support fuels our vision to end pancreatic cancer. Together, we have the power to create a future where this disease no longer defines the lives it touches.
We can rewrite the story of pancreatic cancer—one breakthrough, one step, one life at a time.
What we do
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 are pushing boundaries to create a brighter future.
Compassionate Support
We create accessible, evidence-based resources that help people and families going through pancreatic cancer navigate diagnosis, treatment and beyond and support them every step along the way.
Impactful Advocacy
We collaborate across sectors to drive systemic change and improve the quality, consistency and reach of pancreatic cancer research and care —ensuring everyone, regardless of postcode or income, can access the best care.
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.
Our Approach
We believe in a fair fight.
This means tackling the inequities that have held back pancreatic cancer research and outcomes for far too long. Inspired by the resilience of those living with the disease, we channel our passion into uniting communities, researchers, and organisations to achieve meaningful change.
Our vision transcends borders because we believe that everyone affected by pancreatic cancer, whether they live in New York or rural Australia, deserves equitable access to life-saving treatments and hope. Our global partnerships and collaborations connect researchers, clinicians, and advocates worldwide to share knowledge, accelerate breakthroughs, and ensure no one is left behind. By fostering a united, global effort, we amplify the impact of cutting-edge research and champion initiatives that drive systemic change. Together, we are dismantling barriers and creating a future where geography no longer defines a person's chance at survival.
