ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS

BTAA connects people, organisations, and government to foster collaboration and build awareness. We educate the community and inform decision-makers to shape policy and better outcomes. By uniting lived experience with expertise, we champion the needs of the brain tumour community to achieve lasting improvements in research, clinical care and support.

BTAA develops evidence-based policy reports and submissions to improve care, support and outcomes for people affected by brain tumours. These documents reflect our members’ experiences, expert insights, and our advocacy priorities.

Head to the Hill is BTAA’s annual advocacy and awareness event at Parliament House, Canberra. It brings together patients, carers and advocates to meet Members and Senators and to put brain cancer on the national agenda.

People affected by brain tumours bring an experience and perspective that can help shape better research, care and support. The BTAA Advocate Program provides practical information and tools to help you share your story, engage with decision-makers and advocate for change in a way that feels right for you.
