Cancer by state and territory data visualisation

For many different cancers, this data visualisation provides cancer incidence data for each state and territory. Cancer mortality data are excluded from this visualisation this year but are expected to be included after cancer mortality data investigations are complete. It is expected that this work will be completed in time for the 2023 release of Cancer data in Australia.

Help with terms, and information about the data, is available by placing the mouse pointer over the icons found near the top of the page.
