Light Australia Green
Light Australia Green is not symbolic awareness.
It is a coordinated effort to publicly expose the gaps that cost lives between cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence prevention, and to close them.
The initiative operates year-round, delivering events, symposiums, and targeted programs that align science, research, and clinical application in service of patient response, medical engagement, and cause-focused work that improves outcomes.
Light Australia Green brings the cholangiocarcinoma community into alignment.
Patients, families, clinicians, researchers, and supporters often work toward the same goal from different parts of the system. When those parts remain disconnected, gaps appear between cause, diagnosis, and effective response.
Light Australia Green helps close those gaps and complete the arc of cholangiocarcinoma.
Through public events, symposiums, mentorship programs, and community engagement, it creates spaces where lived experience, clinical insight, and research knowledge can connect, learn, and collaborate.
The green lights seen across Australia each February are the visible signal of the scale of that shared effort.
They remind us that coordination and culture matter.
When systems fragment, patients carry the cost.
When people align, response improves.
The green lights are a visible signal of a connected effort across Australia.
They represent:
- Australian Patients and families navigating this cancer
- Australian Clinicians and researchers committed to better response
- Australian Communities choosing not to let this disease remain unseen
- A shared Australian effort to improve continuity, understanding, and action

Light Australia Green works throughout the year through:
- Public events
- Cholangio Catch-ups
- In hospital symposiums
- Mentorship programs
- Community engagement
- Light Australia Green February
- World Cholangiocarcinoma Day
- Caregiver Support Groups
- Patient and Cargiver Groups
These activities help align lived experience, clinical insight, and public attention around the real gaps that affect patient response.
They create spaces where people can connect, share understanding, and strengthen how biliary tract cancers are responded to.
There is no single way to be involved.
Patients and families can stay connected and take part in the community.
Clinicians and researchers can engage through symposiums, dialogue, and shared learning.
Supporters and organisations can help strengthen visibility, connection, and coordinated response.
Every contribution helps close the gaps between cause, diagnosis, and effective response.
