The National Bowel Cancer Coalition is a group of independent, non-profit organisations who have agreed to coordinate individual activities and work collaboratively to –

1. Raise awareness of the risk of bowel cancer – Australia’s second biggest cancer killer;
    
2. Reduce the number of people affected by bowel cancer;
    
3. Improve the lives of patients with bowel cancer;
    
4. Ensure there is sufficient policy emphasis on bowel cancer prevention as well as support for people diagnosed with the disease; and
    
5. Advocate Government investment in R&D and clinical trials to be in line with bowel cancer’s relative burden of disease.
