Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project


This was a free service for men with prostate cancer and carers. The nurses were in regional, rural and metropolitan hospitals across Australia. The nurses were employed directly by their host hospital as part of a program run by Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA). Nurses provided quality, tailored care to men with prostate cancer and their carers to better meet their information and support needs. An evaluation has been completed which measured how effective the service was in delivering care to those affected by prostate cancer.

This project initially funded the placement of 12 Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurses in all States and Territories across Australia. 10 positions are currently receiving ongoing funding through the employing hospital. The program has been expanded by PCFA to included other sites funded through other sources. Currently there are 25 Nurses participating in this program nationally.

An additional $6.7 million was provided by the Federal Government to PCFA to fund additional nurses to be part of the PCFA Prostate Cancer Specialist Nursing Service. Community based funding initiatives have also enabled the program to expand.
