Join us as we talk to Christine Cockburn.

Christine says that caring for her mum was one of the great privileges of her life, then when she had her own cancer experience, she realised that her Mum's rare diagnosis had been a whole different world. Now every day Christine gets to work with the rare community, and she couldn't feel more fortunate. After six years as Head of Patient Support, and then General Manager at Rare Cancers Australia (RCA), she now holds the position of Chief Executive Officer.

Christine combines her expertise in sociology and public health with her drive to be bold and brave in leading RCA’s advocacy efforts and its dedicated team in their mission – to improve the lives and health outcomes of Australians living with rare and less common cancers. She sits on several advisory bodies including for Australian Genomics and Patient Voice Initiative; and is proud to be supervising an industry PhD project in partnership with LaTrobe University on rare cancers and the provision of information.
