The Duchess’s last visit Down Under was in March when she travelled to Melbourne for the first international edition of the Global Citizen NOW action summit.
It comes after Sarah revealed she is ‘so proud’ of ‘brave’ King Charles and the Princess of Wales for opening up about their cancer diagnosis.
The Duchess also opened up about her own recent experience with cancer saying they ‘all need to rally together’, as she appeared on Good Morning Britain earlier this month.
She said: ‘I am so so proud of the King on becoming the royal patron of Cancer Research UK, getting out there and talking to all these people, he gives everyone that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, I thought it was very brave of him to do that.
‘The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave, family unity is an extraordinary thing and I am honestly so proud and I am sending them lots of love and lots of support, we all need to rally together.’

Responding to questions about her own cancer diagnosis she said she has found her ‘new normal’.
She said: ‘All these years I’ve been thinking, “Am I good enough? Am I this, am I that? Do I get my finances right? Do I do this?”. And actually suddenly now with a mastectomy and then with malignant melanoma, every single day, it’s not a wake up call, it’s now a new normal.
‘You can never say you’re cancer free, but you can say that I’m doing well, Susanna, and I’m very lucky, but I really am determined.

‘Honestly 1.2 mammograms are not being picked up. The people are not going for their mammograms, they’re not being tested. They need to be tested, they can be tested and don’t be frightened.’
Her battle with cancer began last June, when she was diagnosed with the disease during a routine mammogram.
Sarah underwent a single mastectomy, but six months later, the Duchess had a mole removed from her body which tests found to be a malignant melanoma
She currently has regular check-ups.
