World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month 2025 and World Pancreatic Cancer Day

Tasman Bridge with lights
November is recognised globally as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and is an important time of year for communities to raise awareness of the disease, celebrate survivors and honour loved ones. Pankind are proud to stand alongside global like-minded organisations as part of The World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, which of more than 95 organisations from over 35 countries and six continents that elevate global awareness, inspire action, and bring greater attention to the disease to improve outcomes ultimately. This year, PanKind is pleased to announce that alongside the Australian Pancreatic Cancer Alliance, we will be lighting up every state in Australia purple for pancreatic cancer. Iconic locations across Australia have agreed to light up their buildings purple to raise awareness for the disease and honour those that have sadly lost their battles. The public are encouraged to flood social media with images of the landmarks and hashtag ##ItsAboutTime and #LightitPurpleAUS and #WPCD on the 20 November 2025, or throughout the month of November to raise awareness of this cancer, currently claiming 71 Australian lives a week.
