Gynaecological Cancer Group
SHE Gynaecological Cancer Group is a not-for-profit charity aiming to raise awareness and emotional support for Tasmanian’s suffering from gynaecological cancers.
Gynaecological cancers include cancer of the vulva, vagina, cervix, endometrium, uterus, ovaries and placenta.
The most recent data from Cancer Australia shows that gynaecological cancers represent 9.3% of cancers diagnosed in people with female reproductive organs. The most common gynaecological cancer is uterine cancer.
While the survival rate for all gynaecological cancers is around 71%, some gynaecological cancers such as ovarian cancer have a survival rate of only 48%. Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer death among people with female reproductive organs.
Further statistical information about gynaecological cancers can be found on the Cancer Australia website : https://www.canceraustralia.gov.au/cancer-types/gynaecological-cancers/statistics

Saying it out loud is the first step. Well done you.
It's time we talked about gynaecological cancers - February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Know the symptoms. Get checked out.
Upcoming Events
All funds raised this month will remain in Tasmania to help raise awareness about gynaecological cancers and support the establishment of a much-needed Cancer Wellness Centre in the Hobart hospital precinct, providing vital services for cancer patients and their families.
Tassie turns Teal - a S.H.E. initiative for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Tassie turns Teal is a S.H.E. initiative, in partnership with the Tasmania Jack Jumpers, for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. We hope that by shining a light across Tasmania, we can help raise awareness; prompting family and friends to seek medical advice, leading to early diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately saving lives.
If you’d like to get involved - light up your home, business or premises in teal for all of February. Be sure to send us a pic at info@shegynaetas.org.au or tag us on social media so we can give you a huge thank you!
February 8th MyState Arena: Jack Jumpers annual Teal charity game
Returning for a fourth year; The Tasmania Jack Jumpers will take to the court against the Cairns Taipans in our annual fundraising event for gynaecological cancers. The game is inspired by board director Scott Harris and his late wife Jo, who sadly passed away in April 2023 after a lengthy battle with Ovarian Cancer.
The club will also hold a range of fundraising & awareness promotions, including the launch of the 2025 Teal Jersey, in the lead up to the blockbuster home game at MyState Arena.
