Thank you Kristy McBain MP for standing with Ketzia, and all of us. It was a pleasure to have you at Head to the Hill this year.

We ask you to continue to stand with us as advocate for our community. See out Landscape Report that outlines our key asks of government: https://btaa.org.au/news/latest-news/new-research-brain-cancers-impact-society

I had the pleasure of meeting Ketzia and her mum, a courageous constituent who lives with a complex brain tumour at the Brain Tumour Alliance Australia (BTAA)'s Head to the Hill event at Parliament House.

Ketzia's story is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for greater investment in brain tumour research and better support for patients navigating this difficult journey.

Ketzia’s voice, and the voices of so many others in our community, deserve to be heard. I’m proud to stand with them and advocate for stronger policy, and improved services for Australians affected by brain tumours.

Thank you for your strength and advocacy Ketzia. 💜

We were pleased to welcome Julian Leeser MP to Head to the Hill 2025, representing his constituent, and our Executive Officer, Christine Whittall.

His attendance helped ensure the voices of all people living with brain cancer were heard directly in Parliament.

Thank you to all MPs and Senators who took the time to meet with their constituents and listen to the real experiences behind the statistics. Every conversation helps move us closer to better care and outcomes for the brain cancer community.
