Children's Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research (CCIA) is the only independent medical research institute in Australia dedicated to research into the causes, prevention, better treatments and ultimately a cure for childhood cancer. Our vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. Since the construction of our first laboratory, CCIA’s research effort has grown to encompass ten major research programs. These research programs focus on translational research that represents a broad and well-integrated approach directed at improving the outcome of all children with cancer. First established as a Foundation that funded the few, small research projects then being undertaken, CCIA opened its own research laboratories in 1984. Since that time, the Institute has grown to employ over 150 staff and students, and has established a national and international reputation for scientific excellence. Prior to the 1960s, childhood cancer was almost always fatal. Today, as a result of enormous advances in medical research, the survival rate has risen to 70 percent. However, three out of every ten children with cancer do not survive. These are the children that CCIA strives to save.
