About Light Australia Green

What is the ‘Light Australia Green Initiative’?

Light Australia Green is an effort to unite people nationwide around a common goal: A comprehensive annual campaign of green-themed events, symposiums, and innovative initiatives dedicated to raising awareness and driving engagement in bile health and bile-related cancer response strategies.

What Does it Do?

The Light Australia Green Initiative acts as an overarching umbrella that unites patients, caregivers, families, medical and allied professionals, healthcare providers, researchers, and the science community. It provides a pathway where both lived and professional expertise and experience come together to contribute to better patient outcomes.

Centralising the Effort

This initiative centralises and activates collaborations to ensure that today’s science and best practices are fully utilised to directly benefit today’s patients, with a focus on improving survival rates.

What Are Bile-Related Cancers?

Bile-related cancers include bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), liver, gallbladder, and pancreatic cancers, as well as cancers impacted by bile, such as colon cancer.

Become a Cholangio Challenger: Turn your active lifestyle into helping patients regain theirs. From marathons to ping-pong to baking up a storm

The Foundation has created a home for members who have passed on but are still very much part of who we are and where we are headed – We all carry that responsibility together we carry the best of them forward to the benefit of those who follow.

Healthy Community

The Business and Corporate Communities are integral components and leaders in any healthy, happy, and constructive community.
