About The Ladybird Foundation
The Ladybird Foundation supports breast and gynaecologic cancer research in Western Australia.
In Western Australia each year, 1800 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 490 women are diagnosed with a gynaecologic cancer.
Currently, 270 women lose their lives to breast cancer and 165 to gynaecologic cancer annually in Western Australia.
Many of us will know someone whose life has been affected by one of these diseases.
Breast and gynaecologic cancers are a leading burden of disease for women, with many years of healthy life lost due to premature death or continuing disability due to their cancer diagnosis. This loss of quality of life has a significant and direct impact on families, friends, and the wider Western Australian community.

The Ladybird Foundation aims to improve the lives of those diagnosed with breast and gynaecologic cancers through the funding of research. Research is essential to provide evidence that new treatments are safe, effective and have the potential to improve treatment outcomes for patients.
The Ladybird Foundation strives to fill an identified gap in funding of excellent breast and gynaecologic cancer research in Western Australia.
Established in 2014, the Foundation identifies world-leading breast and gynaecologic cancer researchers in Western Australia who are working to improve treatment outcomes and increase access to the benefits of research for the WA community.
Funds raised by the Foundation remain in Western Australia and are granted directly into relevant research projects.
