Chinese Cancer and Chronic Illness Society of Victoria (CCCIS), formerly Chinese Cancer Society of Victoria (CCSV), was founded in 1996 as one of the Cancer Council Victoria’s support groups. The Society was founded by social worker, Dorothy Yiu OAM JP (current Chairperson), in response to a request from the Cancer Council Victoria to address an urgent need for culturally and linguistically appropriate services for Chinese people who have been touched by cancer.

In January 2018, the Society changed its legal name to Chinese Cancer and Chronic Illness Society of Victoria with the aim to expand its services to support people from Chinese speaking backgrounds with other chronic illnesses such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's, as well as cancer.

CCCIS remains an accredited support group of the Cancer Council Victoria and was awarded the Volunteer Group of the Year in December 2011. The Society also received a Meritorious Award in 2008 from the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
