The NSWCR is a population-based registry that maintains records of people with cancer in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW).

Notification of new cancer cases and cancer deaths is required under the Public Health Act 2010 and are included in the NSWCR. The registry contains demographic, incidence, and death details for people diagnosed with cancer in NSW since 1972. In total, over 2.5 million cancer notifications have been received since 2015.
