That’s why brain cancer must be tackled from many directions.

On , we recognise that every tumour, every patient and every story is unique. The NeuroSurgical Research Foundation funds researchers across all South Australian institutions, working collaboratively with national and international partners to change what’s possible.

Better treatments. Better quality of life. More options. More time.

Thanks to our generous supporters we have funded over $1.1m to vital brain tumour research this year alone.

Supported by the NRF, Brain Tumour Research SA brings together researchers and clinicians to expedite cutting-edge research and translate the latest discoveries into real world impact.

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) will consider vorasidenib for potential PBS listing at its March 2026 meeting.

For people living with IDH-mutant glioma, access to effective treatments can be life-changing. Personal perspectives help PBAC better understand the real-world impact of brain cancer and the importance of timely, affordable access to new therapies.

The NRF encourages patients, carers, and families to contribute.

If you or someone you support has experience with vorasidenib—or would benefit from access to it—your insight can help inform this decision!

Australian kids and adults with complex cancers are still being sent overseas for proven, life-saving proton therapy. The Bragg Centre in Adelaide is ready to go; the building and bunker are finished, clinical teams are preparing, yet the machine still hasn’t been procured. Families are running out of time.

We need the government to prioritise proton therapy now, especially for children, and activate Australia’s first treatment site without further delays.

Please sign and share the petition. 🙏
