To describe changes in childhood cancer incidence in Australia, 1983-2015, and to estimate projected incidence to 2035. ⋯ The incidence rates of several childhood cancer types steadily increased during 1983-2015. Although the reasons for these rises are largely unknown, our findings provide a foundation for health service planning for meeting the needs of children who will be diagnosed with cancer until 2035.

Regional differences in the delivery of twins suggest that the number of caesarean deliveries can be reduced with appropriate system and training support.
