Limit Alcohol

Alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, including cancer of the mouth, throat (pharynx and larynx), oesophagus, liver, breast and bowel. Yet many Australians are unaware of this link.

Our latest campaign aims to increase Victorians’ awareness of the link between alcohol and cancer and encourage them to reduce their drinking to reduce their risk of cancer and serious harm.
