Research studies have long shown that where people live can have an impact on their health and affect the likelihood of being diagnosed with chronic diseases, like cancer.

The Australian Cancer Atlas, published in September 2018, is an interactive, online Atlas that provides the first ever national perspective of how cancer incidence and survival varies according to where people live.

The Australian Cancer Atlas is a collaborative study funded by Cancer Council Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, FrontierSI (formerly the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information), and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
