The Children's Cancer Institute is an independent medical research organization in Australia dedicated solely to childhood cancer, based at UNSW Sydney in New South Wales. It highlights a national burden, with around 1,000 diagnoses each year and ongoing losses, while noting that more than eight in ten children now survive thanks to research, even as many survivors face long-term health effects from treatment. The institute emphasizes its role as a dedicated research entity that aims to cure every child of cancer through collaboration and advanced science. Among its initiatives, it launched the Zero Childhood Cancer program in 2017 to offer personalized treatments for relapsed or treatment-refractory cases. It has pursued collaborations such as a 2023 partnership with NetApp to accelerate breakthroughs, and in 2024 announced the establishment of the ACCEPT program focused on early detection, prevention, and treatment. The organization serves patients and the broader research community, contributing to longer, healthier lives for children.
