Dear
Mr. Lindsay and Mr. McCann,
By
letter dated October 23, 2020, the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,”
“us” or “our”) with its comments to the Company’s Amended No. 4 Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-238240) filed with the Commission on October 14, 2020. We are in receipt of your letter and set forth below are
the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. For your convenience, the comments are listed below, followed by
the Company’s responses. Changes will be reflected in Amended No.5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amendment”),
which the Company intends to file on or about the date hereof.
1.
We note that your amended disclosure on page 69 indicates that your common shares are now quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace.
To sell shares at market price, please note that there must be an existing trading market for those shares in order to satisfy
Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, please revise your cover page to reflect that your stock is currently traded on
OTC Pink marketplace and that the selling shareholder will sell at a fixed price of $x.xx (or a range) until your shares are quoted
on the OTCQX or OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
Response:
The Company has updated the Amendment to disclose that the Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of its pledgees,
assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, offer common stock at a fixed price of $0.00181 until our shares
are quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplaces, or listed on a national securities exchange, and
thereafter sales of the common stock to be registered hereunder could be made at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale,
at fixed prices, at negotiated prices, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.
In
addition, we have updated the Amendment to disclose that on August 22, 2020, we submitted a Form 14C to FINRA to affect a reverse
stock split of our common stock at a reverse stock split ratio in the range of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-1,000 (the “Reverse
Stock Split”), which specific ratio will be determined by our board of directors at its sole discretion prior to the filing
the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The board of directors of the Company and the majority stockholders
of the Company approved and authorized the Reverse Stock Split. If we decide to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split prior to our
common stock being quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplaces, or a listed national securities exchange, the fixed price at which
the Selling Security Holder may offer the common stock will be adjusted in proportion to the respective Reverse Stock Split on
a pro-rata basis.

No. 000-54878
Dear
Mr. Lindsay and Mr. McCann,
By
letter dated June 25, 2020, the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,”
“us” or “our”) with its comments to the Company’s Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule
14C (File No. 000-54878) filed with the Commission on June 11, 2020. We are in receipt of your letter and set forth below are
the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. For your convenience, the comments are listed below, followed by
the Company’s responses. Changes will be reflected in Amended Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Amendment”),
which the Company intends to file on or about the date hereof.
1.
Please revise your information statement to ensure consistent disclosures regarding the following matters:
●
Clarify whether the range of the reverse stock split is a range of 1-for-1,000, as you indicate in your cover page, or 1-for-500,
as you indicate elsewhere in your filing.
Response:
The range of the reverse stock split will be up to 1-for-1,000.
●
Clarify whether authorized shares will proportionately decrease with the reverse split ratio. If the number of shares will remain
the same or increase, please discuss how you will be able to accomplish the stated purpose of the reverse stock split.
Response:
The authorize shares will not proportionately decrease with the reverse split ratio. The Company’s authorized common stock
will remain at 1,000,000,000 in connection with the reverse stock split, thus reducing the Company’s issued and outstanding
stock to allow for the Company to issue additional shares to be in compliance with its outstanding debt and convertible note instruments.
●
Clarify how you will treat fractional shares. In this regard, we note that you state that factional shares will be rounded up,
while in other instances you state that cash will be delivered in lieu of fractional shares.
Response:
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue
to the Company’s stockholders holding a fractional share of Common Stock one additional share of Common Stock for each fractional
share.
●
Clarify whether you will increase the number of authorized common and preferred shares as indicated in Exhibit A
Response:
The number of authorized common and preferred shares will not be increased.
2.
Please revise Exhibit A to clarify the number of authorized preferred stock. In Article 4.A, your amendment states that the number
of authorized preferred stock will be 1,500,005. Article 5.B, however, states that the number of authorized stock is 10,000,000.
Response:
Exhibit A has been revised throughout to state that the number of authorized preferred stock will be 1,500,005.

you for your assistance in reviewing this filing. Please feel free to contact me at (844) 628-2100.

Registration
Statement on Form S-1
Filed

File
No. 333-238240
Dear
Mr. Lindsay and Mr. McCann:
By
letter dated May 27, 2020, the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,”
“us” or “our”) with its comments to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-238240)
filed with the Commission on May 13, 2020 (the “Form S-1”). We are in receipt of your letter and set forth below are
the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. For your convenience, the comments are listed below, followed by
the Company’s responses. Changes will be reflected in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”),
which the Company intends to file on or about the date hereof and will be marked to show all changes made since the initial filing
of the Registration Statement.
1.
Please revise your disclosure here, page 39, pages 66 through 67, and throughout your registration statement, to clarify whether
this is a primary offering of newly issued shares or a secondary offering of outstanding shares registered on behalf of a selling
stockholder.
Company
Response: It is the Company’s understanding that this is a secondary offering of outstanding shares registered on behalf
of a selling stockholder. Accordingly, the Amendment reflects clarification to the disclosure in the sections identified above.
Please see our response to Question 2 below for the analysis underlying this position.
2.
Given the nature of the offering and its size relative to the number of shares outstanding held by non-affiliates, it appears
that the selling stockholder may be acting as a conduit for the company in an indirect primary offering. Please revise to identify
the selling stockholder as an underwriter. Alternatively, provide an analysis of why you believe this is not an indirect primary
offering, taking into consideration each of the factors identified in Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
612.09, as well as any other factors you deem relevant. Please identity of the individual(s) with dispositive and voting control
over the Ionic Ventures shares in this analysis and revise your disclosure as appropriate.
Company
Response: We have reviewed the factors from the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations 612.09 (“CD&I
612.09”), and other facts and factors related to the selling stockholder (“Selling Stockholder”) offering, in
addition to the relevant sections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Rule 415(a)(1)(i)
of the Securities Act provides that “securities may be registered for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed
basis in the future, provided, that the registration statement pertains only to securities which are to be offered or sold solely
by or on behalf of persons other than the registrant, subsidiary of the registrant or a person of which the registrant is a subsidiary.”
Based
on Rule 415(a)(1)(i) and CD&I 612.09, we believe that the registration of the shares on behalf of Selling Stockholder is not
a transaction “by or on behalf of the issuer.” The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares
by the Selling Stockholder nor has the Selling Stockholder entered into an agreement with the Company for the Company to receive
any of the proceeds from the sale of any shares. Thus, in light of the fact that the Selling Stockholder is not acting for the
Company, and because the Form S-1 relates only to securities being offered or sold by persons other than the Company, the offering
is appropriate under Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
Specifically
applying the six factors set forth in CD&I 612.09, “(i) how long the Selling Stockholders have held the shares, (ii)
the circumstances under which they received them, (iii) their relationship to the issuer, (iv) the amount of shares involved,
(v) whether the sellers are in the business of underwriting securities, and finally, (vi) whether under all the circumstances
it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer,” we respectfully believe the Staff should conclude that
the offering provided for in the Form S-1 with respect to the Selling Stockholder is appropriate under Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
How
long the Selling Stockholder has held the shares.
The
Selling Stockholder (“Ionic”) purchased the shares on March 30, 2020 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement.
As of the date of this letter, Ionic will have held the shares for over 60 days. The issuance was made in a bona fide private
placement exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Ionic has been subject to the full economic and market
risks of their entire investment since the date of the acquisition of the shares. In addition, Ionic acquired the shares with
no assurance that the shares could be sold in a liquid market.
The
circumstances under which they received them.
As
described above, Ionic acquired the securities in bona fide private placement transactions pursuant to an exemption from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholder made customary investment
and private placement representations to the Company, including it (i) was an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, (ii) was acquiring the shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act solely for investment with no present intention to distribute any of the Shares to any person, (iii) will not sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable
securities laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom, (iv) had such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters and in investments of this type that such Selling Stockholder was capable of making an informed investment decision and
has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and (v) was able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the shares
and able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
The
Company is neither aware of any evidence that would indicate that these representations were false nor aware of any evidence that
the selling stockholder has any plan to act in concert to affect a distribution of the registration shares. In addition, the Company
is not aware of any evidence that would indicate that a distribution would occur if the Form S-1 is declared effective.
Under
the Commission’s rules, a “distribution” requires special selling efforts. Rule 100(b) of Regulation M defines
a “distribution” as “an offering of securities, whether or not subject to registration under the Securities
Act, that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling
efforts and selling methods.” The Company is not aware of any evidence that would indicate that any special selling efforts
or selling methods (such as road shows or other actions to condition the market for the Company’s common stock) by or on
behalf of Ionic have or will take place if the Form S-1 is declared effective.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement contains provisions that are relevant to Ionic’s intent to resell the shares. Ionic, as selling
stockholder, delivered representations and warranties in the Securities Purchase Agreement that (i) it was acquiring the shares
as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the shares in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities laws, (ii) it had no arrangement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any persons
to resell or distribute or regarding the distribution of such shares and (iii) it acquired the shares in the ordinary course of
its business. The Company is neither aware of any evidence that would indicate that these representations were false nor aware
of any evidence that the selling stockholders had any plan to act in concert with a third party to effect a distribution of the
shares. In addition, the Company is not aware of any evidence that would indicate that a distribution would occur if the Form
S-1 is declared effective.
These
circumstances are quite distinct from those involving a primary offering by or on behalf of the Company.
Their
relationship to the issuer.
Ionic
is not an officer, director, affiliate or 5% shareholder of the issuer.
The
amount of shares involved.
The
number of shares being registered pursuant to the Form S-1 is 150,000,000, which represents approximately 97.78% of all of the
outstanding ordinary shares.
Regardless
of percentage, it is important to note that the amount of shares being registered is only one factor cited in CD&I 612.09,
and is not controlling. For example, Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations 216.14 states regarding the
use of Form S-3 to affect a secondary offering:
“Secondary
sales by affiliates may be made under General Instruction I.B.3 to Form S-3, even in cases where the affiliate owns more than
50% of the issuer’s securities, unless the facts and circumstances indicate that the affiliate is acting as an underwriter
or by or on behalf of the issuer.”
These
interpretive positions make clear that a holder of shares that are well in excess of one-third of the public float can effect
a valid secondary offering of its shares unless other facts – beyond the mere level of ownership – indicate that the
affiliate is acting as a conduit for the issuer. Here, no other facts exist to suggest that Ionic is acting as a conduit for the
issuer. Additionally, the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and of securities issued pursuant thereto, preclude
the Company from issuing to Ionic shares that would result in Ionic holding in excess of 5%. As such, the circumstances support
the view that the selling stockholder can affect a valid secondary offering regardless of the percentage of the currently outstanding
common stock the secondary offering represents.
Whether
the seller is in the business of underwriting securities.
Ionic
is private investment fund. We have been advised that it is neither a broker-dealer nor an affiliate of a broker-dealer. To our
knowledge, Ionic is not in the business of underwriting securities.
Whether
under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer.
Based
on the aforementioned facts, Ionic is not acting as a conduit or pass-through for the Company. Ionic personally bears the economic
risks and rewards of being a shareholder and will continue to do so until a time when they sell their securities. The Company
does not benefit from or suffer when or if these Ionic sells their shares. Since the time of purchase, Ionic has borne the full
economic risk of ownership of their shares, and likely will continue to do so for a significant period of time given the historically
low trading volume and price volatility of our common stock.
We
believe the registration of the securities on behalf of Ionic to be a secondary offering due to the aforementioned reasons and,
accordingly, we can rely on Rule 415(A)(1)(i) for the offering of shares on behalf of Ionic after the effective date of the registration
statement.
3.

File No. 333-175092
Dear Mr. Krug:
We are counsel to Propanc Health Group Corporation (“Propanc,” the “Company” or “our client”). On behalf of our client, we respond as follows to the Staff’s comments dated November 9, 2011, relating to the above-captioned Registration Statement. Please note that for the Staff’s convenience, we have recited each of the Staff’s comments and provided the Company’s response to each comment in italics immediately thereafter. In addition, we have attached a copy of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, Amendment No. 4, which has been marked with the changes from Form S-1, Amendment No.3 filed on October 27, 2011.
Form S-1
Prospectus Summary
Comment 1. We note your discussion relative to an escrow agent and the return of investors’ funds in the event the company is unable to sell the specified minimum number of shares. Please expand the discussion to clarify whether the proceeds in the escrow account are subject to deduction for expenses and whether interest will be paid if the funds are returned.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see pages 1 and 6.
Comment 2. We note that “purchasers who purchase shares from the selling shareholder who are also officers and directors of the company will receive the selling shareholder prospectus.” Please clarify what, if anything, purchasers who purchase shares from a selling shareholder who is not an officer or director of the company will receive.
1
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see page 1.
Agreements with Jersey Fortress Capital Partners, LLC, page 17
Comment 3. Please expand the discussion to state how Jersey Fortress will be compensated pursuant to the May 2011 agreement.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see page 17.
Comment 4. We note that pursuant to your June 2011 agreement with Jersey Fortress, you will issue to Jersey Fortress 7.2 million shares of your common stock “immediately prior to the listing of the Company’s common stock....” Please reconcile the terms of the June 2011 agreement with the disclosure in notes 4 and 8 to the financial statements which indicate the shares have already been issued. In this regard, we also note the following statement on page 1 of your prospectus dated October 27, 2011:
To date, we have not obtained listing or quotation of our securities on a national stock exchange or association or inter-dealer quotation system. We have not identified any market makers with regard to assisting us to apply for such quotation. We are unable to estimate when we expect to undertake this endeavor or whether we will be successful. In the absence of listing, no public market is available for investors in our common stock to sell the shares offered herein. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be able to get the shares listed for trading.
Response: Both the Company and Jersey Fortress interpreted the phrase “listing of the Company’s common stock” to mean the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC and not the listing of the Company’s shares on the OTC markets. As such, in anticipation of the filing of the Registration Statement, the shares issuable to Jersey under this agreement were issued in June 2011. Please see page 17 of the Registration Statement.
Comment 5. Please identify the principals of Jersey Fortress and the number of shares registered for resale on their behalf pursuant to the prospectus.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see page 17.
Related Party Transactions, page 18
Comment 6. We note your revisions to this discussion including the identification of Mr. Nathanielsz as an officer of the company. We also note that Dr. Mitchell is identified elsewhere in the registration statement as the company’s president, however you have not identified Dr. Mitchell as an officer in the discussion of related party transactions. Please advise or revise.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see pages 18 and 19.
Business – Overview, page 19
Comment 7. Please explain how Dr. Trnka’s 1995 “study” pertains to the pattern of treatment you propose to pursue. In this regard, you have not explained how the 21 late stage patients were treated and with what product or the results of the treatment. We also note that according to the current disclosure apparently more than half of the patients did not respond to the treatment and we do not know how the ten remaining patients responded to the treatment. In addition, we note the 1995 study was not a formal, controlled clinical study, was not published, and the discussion does not describe the work, if any, that was subsequently conducted “to evaluate the efficacy of this potential cancer treatment.”

Response: The Registration Statement has been revised in response to this comment. Please see page 19.
Comment 8. We note the statement “while these initial scientific observations continued to support the work initiated by Professor Beard many years ago, the opportunity remained for a more formal evidenced based approach to development of his proenzyme formulation using a Phase I, Phase II and III mode of study, and expanding research efforts to elucidate its mechanisms.” Please state, if true, that none of the more formalized Phase I, Phase II and III studies have been completed.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events, page F-19
Comment 12. Refer to your response to comment 52. Please tell us where you have disclosed the terms of the termination agreement with Churchill and Associates;
Response: The disclosure relating to the termination of the agreement with Churchill and Associates can be found on Note 4 found on page F-13. Please note that such disclosure was not included under Note 12 (Subsequent Events) because such termination occurred during the period covered by such report. Further, the agreement was terminated unilaterally by the Company and as such, there were no agreed terms relating to such termination. The Company believes that it has no further obligation to Churchill and Associates under the terminated agreement.

Selling Shareholder Prospectus

Comment 13. We note the primary offering will expire 90 days from the date of effectiveness and this period may be extended for an additional 90 day period. We also note the statement in the fourth paragraph that “at the time of investment, purchasers of the selling shareholder shares will not know whether and the extent to which the company obtained funding pursuant to the best efforts offering.” Please expand the discussion in the fourth paragraph to disclose that you will promptly file a post-effective amendment to the selling shareholder prospectus to disclose any of the following events:
·
The breaking of escrow upon the sale of the minimum number of shares in the best efforts offering;
·
The extension of the primary offering beyond the initial 90 days period, indicating the number of shares sold to date in the primary offering; or
·

Comment 15. We note the bulleted list of possible methods by which the selling shareholders’ shares may be sold.

7. Please explain how Dr. Trnka’s 1995 “study” pertains to the patte rn of treatment you
propose to pursue. In this regard, you have not explained how the 21 late stage patients
were treated and with what pr oduct or the results of the treatment. We also note that
according to the current disclosure apparently more than half of the patients did not
respond to the treatment and we do not know how the ten remaining patients responded
to the treatment. In addition, we note the 1995 study was not a formal, controlled clinical
study, was not published, and the discussion does not describe the work, if any, that was
subsequently conducted “to evaluate the effi cacy of this potential cancer treatment.”
Mr. James Nathanielsz Propanc Health Group Corporation November 9, 2011 Page 3
8. We note the statement “while these initial sc ientific observations continued to support the
work initiated by Professor Beard many years ago, the opportunity remained for a more
formal evidenced based approach to devel opment of his proenzyme formulation using a
Phase I, Phase II and III mode of study, and expanding research effo rts to elucidate its
mechanisms.” Please state, if true, that none of the more formalized Phase I, Phase II and
III studies have been completed.

Comment 5. We note your response to comment 5 and reissue the comment in part. Please state in the summary whether there are any minimum purchase requirements, e.g.100 shares.

Risk Factors
General
Comment 7. The first risk factor on page 5 and the second risk factor on page 6 are overlapping and duplicative. Please combine these risk factors under one risk factor subheading.
Response: We have combined the two risk factors into one in response to this comment. Please see page 5.
Comment 8. Please include a separate and appropriately titled risk factor explaining that shareholders who purchase shares in the secondary offering will not be assured that any additional proceeds will be received by the company from the primary offering as the offerings are occurring simultaneously and the minimum level of sales to break escrow in the public offering might not be reached.
Response: We have added an additional risk factor that shareholders who purchase shares in the secondary offering will not be assured that any additional proceeds will be received by the company from the primary offering as the offerings are occurring simultaneously and the minimum level of sales to break escrow in the public offering might not be reached. Please see page 6.
“Because pre-clinical and clinical trials required for our product candidates...,” page 7
Comment 9. We note your response to comment 14 and the reference to pre-clinical studies you conducted. Please expand the discussion to state when you conducted these pre-clinical studies and how these studies may differ from the “formal preclinical studies” required for regulatory approval.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 15
Comment 14. We note your response to comment 23 and reissue the comment in part. Please provide an analysis as to why an order placed by the Dove Clinic, of which Dr. Kenyon was the Medical Director, to an entity apparently formed by Dr. Kenyon to fulfill the order, is considered to be a bona fide unsolicited order. Please expand the discussion and consider the inclusion of an additional risk factor to address the significance, if any, of your supply of unlicensed medicine to treat patients at the Dove Clinic, including potential legal and liability ramifications, if any, in the event the transaction is not considered to be in compliance with the provisions of Schedule I of the Medicines for Human Use Regulations.
Response: According to Schedule 1 of the UK’s ‘The Medicines for Human Use (Marketing Authorisations Etc.), Regulations 1994’, unlicensed medicine supply under the ‘Specials’ provision must be a bona fide unsolicited order placed with one who is qualified to supply unlicensed medicines according to the provisions set out in regulations and who must hold a Manufacturer’s “Specials” Licence granted by the Licensing Authority. In this case, the bona fide unsolicited order placed by the Dove Clinic was supplied by Mandeville Medicines Ltd, Buckinghamshire, UK who is a qualified “Specials” manufacturer. The unlicensed medicine was provided according to the requirements specified under the relevant UK and Australian regulations and thus legal and liability ramifications are not considered to be sufficient to warrant inclusion as a risk.
Comment 15. We note your response to comment 24 and reissue the comment in part. Please provide the dates corresponding to the information provided in your response. In this regard, we note the Australian predecessor to your company was incorporated in October 2007 and the discussion on page 31 indicates Dr. Kenyon was the founder of the Australian predecessor.
Response: The Dove Clinic first treated patients in April, 2007. The Opal Clinic commenced patient treatment in July, 2007.
4
Comment 16. We note your response to comment 24 states the company did not sell directly to the Dove Clinic because the company was not formed until after supply of the medicine was undertaken by the Dove Clinic. Please tell us when and how, specifically, the Dove Clinic acquired a supply of the medicine prior to the formation of the company. In view of the Limited Distributor Deed, it appears ENP Limited acquired the medicine from the company. Please file the Limited Distributor Deed as an exhibit.
Response: The Limited Distributor Deed has been filed as Exhibit 10.13. ENP acquired the medicine from Mandeville Medicines, in this case the UK Specials Manufacturer. The intention of the Distributor Agreement was to ensure the intellectual property and scientific know how at the time would remain within the newly formed Australian company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 17
Comment 17. Please file the August 3, 2010 and September 16, 2010 agreements with Churchill & Associates as exhibits. In addition, please file the June 6, 2011 termination agreement as an exhibit.
Response: The August 3, 2010 and September 19, 2011 agreements with Churchill & Associates, as well as the termination agreement, are included as Exhibits 10.14, 10.15 and 10.16 to the Registration Statement.

Business
Overview, page 19
Comment19. We note your response to comment 27 and reissue the comment. As previously requested, the overview presentation should temper your positive conclusions with the fact that substantial additional testing will be required. The discussion should be expanded to disclose the types of additional tests you will need to conduct and that early results obtained may not be replicated in later and larger trials. In addition, your positive conclusions should be modified by either expressing them as a hope that additional testing will confirm any of the positive results you describe or, alternatively, delete the conclusions.
Response: In response to this comment, we have revised our disclosure in this section. Please see the disclosure beginning on page 19.
5
Comment 20. We note your reference to the unpublished retrospective study and review, and the absence of significant data for most of the patients receiving treatment. In view of the limitations of the study, please eliminate references to the study and its purported statistical results throughout the prospectus. Instead, please revise the discussion to provide disclosure to the effect that a version of the proposed drug was previously administered to 46 patients and the data for the results of such treatment is incomplete or unavailable for most of the participants. In addition, if true, the disclosure may state that although the 2007 review of patient outcomes has limited, if any, recognized scientific value because it was not a controlled scientific study, management believes that since some of the participants lived marginally longer than anticipated by attending clinicians, further research should be conducted to determine whether the perceived increase in life expectancy or survival can be attributed to the proposed product.
Response: In response to this comment, we have revised our disclosure in this section. Please see the disclosure beginning on page 19.
Comment 21. Please expand the discussion to state the dates you applied for and subsequently received approval from the UK and Australian authorities to treat patients with the novel suppository formulation of proenzymes and the form in which such approval was provided, e.g. written approval subsequent to a written request.
Response: It was confirmed by Dr. Kenyon and Dr. Mitchell that no prior approval prior to the treatment of patients with unlicensed medicines on compassionate grounds was needed in the UK, or Australia. However, the guidelines in the UK and Australia specify under what conditions patients may receive treatment with unlicensed medicines on a compassionate basis and these guidelines were met when The Dove Clinic and Opal Clinic treated patients with the suppository formulation, which was manufactured by Mandeville Medicines, a qualified UK Specials Manufacturer. In addition the Quality Care Commission (UK) and MHRA routinely inspect the patient records from The Dove Clinic, and Opal Clinic sent notification to the TGA of patients treated.
Comment 22. Please expand the discussion to state when the special suppository was manufactured and by whom. In addition, please state when the suppository formulation was developed by Drs. Kenyon and Mitchell.
Response: In response to this comment, we have revised our disclosure in this section. Please see the disclosure beginning on page 19.
Comment 23. We note the discussion of milestones on page 20. Please expand the discussion to describe the pharmacological data that was presented to the MHRA in 2008. In addition, please discuss the 28 day multiple ascending dose study and the results of this study.
Response: In response to this comment, we have revised our disclosure in this section. Please see the disclosure beginning on page 19.

Propanc’s Technology, page 20
Comment 24. We note the reference to laboratory research at the Universities of Bath and Granada. Please clarify whether this university research supports each of the bulleted points at the top of page 21concerning PRP. We may have additional comments.
Response: In response to this comment, we have revised our disclosure on our technology. Please see page 20.
PRP-DCM, page 21
Comment 25. We note the reference to the international patent application filed in late 2010. Please state whether you have the sole beneficial interest in this patent application.
Response: In response to this comment, we have disclosed that the patent application is jointly owned by the Company and the University of Bath. Please see page 21.
Comment 26. We note your comparison with Nexavar and “encouraging results” from your animal research. Please expand the discussion to also describe how your proposed product differs from Nexavar, the negative results of your animal testing, the amount of time required for regulatory approval of Nexavar, material differences in your current ability to obtain regulatory approval and that of the developers of Nexavar at the time of approval of Nexavar, and appropriate warning language that there is no assurance your proposed product will receive regulatory approval. In the alternative, please delete the paragraph favorably comparing your research and proposed product to that of Nexavar and other researchers.

Re:
Propanc Health Group Corporation
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 18, 2011
File No. 333-175092
Dear Mr. Krug:
We are counsel to Propanc Health Group Corporation (“Propanc,” the “Company” or “our client”). On behalf of our client, we respond as follows to the Staff’s comments dated August 19, 2011 and August 30, 2011, relating to the above-captioned Registration Statement. Please note that for the Staff’s convenience, we have recited each of the Staff’s comments and provided the Company’s response to each comment in italics immediately thereafter. In addition, we have attached a copy of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, Amendment No. 2, which has been marked with the changes from Form S-1, Amendment No.1 filed on August 18, 2011.
August 19, 2011 Comment Letter
Comment: Our preliminary review of the above referenced amendment to your registration statement indicates that it fails in various material respects to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the rules and regulations under that Act, and the requirements of the form. Namely, the financial statements included in the filing are not current as required by Article 8-08 of Regulation S-X. In addition, your next amendment should include an updated accountant’s consent. We will not perform a detailed examination of the registration statement and we will not issue comments because to do so would delay the review of other disclosure documents that do not appear to contain comparable deficiencies.
Response: The Registration Statement has been updated to include the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
August 30, 2011 Comment Letter
Form S-1
Note 8- Stockholders’ Equity, page F-18
Comment: In your response to comment 83, you state that “the last sale of the Company’s common stock occurred late October 2010 at $0.16.” Please clarify this statement by telling us whether these shares were issued to a related party or a third party. Furthermore, please reconcile this statement with your footnote under “Calculation of registration fee” regarding your proposed maximum offering price per share that it was estimated “on the basis of the last sales price of the Company’s common stock.” If no share was issued at a price close to $1.50, please provide us a description of events that contributed to the increase in the fair value of your common stock. We do not believe that your filing of the registration statement and the IPO itself would attribute to the significant increase in the fair value of your common stock.
If proposed maximum offering price per share of $1.50 was not based on the last sales price of your common stock, please tell us how you estimated this offering price per share.
With regards to fair valuing the 7,216,365 shares issuable under your June 8, 2011 agreement, please tell us why you believe that the October 2010 sales price is a better indication of fair value of these shares rather than the $1.50 that was estimated on the measurement date. In this respect it is noted that the registration statement was filed on June 23, 2011 with an anticipated IPO price of $1.50. Please disclose in the filing a chronological schedule of events from October 2010 to today that impacted the fair value of your common stock and quantify how much each event impacted the fair value.
Response: Based on the estimated IPO price and certain transactions occurring in July 2011, we have reevaluated the valuation of the 7,216,365 shares and recorded them at a value of $1.50 per share, as presented and discussed in the June 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements. This $1.50 valuation is consistent with the value used in the "Calculation of registration fee."

Re:
Propanc Health Group Corporation
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 18, 2011
File No. 333-175092
Dear Ms. Mast:
We are counsel for Propanc Health Group Corporation (“Propanc,” the “Company” or “our client”). We are in receipt of the letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated August 19, 2011 wherein it was stated that the Commission will not proceed with its review of Amendment No.1 to Form S-1/A filed by the Company on August 18, 2011 for the reason that the financial statements included therein are not current as required by Article 8-08 of Regulation S-X.
In this regard, and further to our conversation earlier today, we request that the following responses to comments 81-83 of the Commission’s comment letter dated July 19, 2011 be reviewed preliminarily in order to assist the Company in preparing, and the auditor in auditing, the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 as your responses may effect those updated financial statements. For your convenience, we have recited each of the comments and provided the Company’s response to each comment in italics immediately thereafter.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Australian Goods and Services Tax, page F-9
Comment 81. You state here that “…assets are recognized net of the amount of GST.” However, you continue to state that “[r]eceivables and payables in the balance sheets are shown inclusive of GST.” Please revise your disclosure to clarify whether GST is included or excluded from your balance sheet items. To the extent it is included, please identify the line item and the amounts that are included.
Response: The Company believes the disclosure on page F-9 adequately describes the Company's accounting policy for its GST. However, the Company intends to indicate in its future filings that "Revenues, expenses and Balance Sheet items are recognized net of GST except Payables and Receivables which are inclusive of GST" in order to further clarify the disclosure contained in its future financial statements.
Note 8- Stockholders’ Equity, page F-18
Comment 82. You state that based on an immaterial difference in the conversion formula, the director shares were converted at other prices immaterially different from the stipulated conversion price. Please tell us why you believe the difference is immaterial. Provide us an analysis of the conversion of the loans and accrued interest based on the correct formula vs. the conversion price used and clarify to us why you believe the difference is immaterial. Your analysis should disclose how many shares would have been issued had the correct conversion formula been used. Consider the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 99.
Response: The transaction details were as follows:
Julian Kenyon
- Conversion rate was 0.18313576
- Per contract 0.18
Shares issued = 61,066
Should have been = 62,130
James Nathanielsz
- Conversion rate was 0.183125615
- Per contract 0.18
Shares issued = 59,939
Should have been = 60,979
Doug Mitchell
- Conversion rate was 0.183113243
- Per contract 0.18
Shares issued = 3,184,614
Should have been = 3,239,694
Total share difference was 57,185 shares valued at $0.16 and equates to $9,252 charged to additional paid in capital due to the related party nature of the conversions.
Each related party member agreed, in writing, on a conversion deed, to the final share quantity and amount converted.
The reference to immaterial difference in the conversion formula was meant to explain to the reader the reason for the charge to APIC since, had the conversion occurred as stated in the agreement, no charge to APIC (gain or loss if not a related party transaction) would have occurred. SAB 99 need not be considered as the difference of $9,252 was recorded and there is no further obligation to the shareholders.
The Company will amend future filings to further clarify, stating, "Based on written agreement with the debt holders, there is no further obligation to those shareholders."
Note 12- Subsequent Events, page F-21
Comment 83. You state that you entered an agreement in June 2011 to issue 7,216, 365 shares to a third party consultant upon a registration statement being filed and that those shares would be initially valued based on the value at the agreement date with changes in fair value recorded at each period until the vesting date. Since it appears that the quantity and terms of the equity instruments are known up front pursuant to ASC 505-50-30-21, it appears that the final measurement value upon filing the registration statement is based on the IPO price of $1.50. Please revise to disclose the expected effect on the financial statements.
Response: The company reviewed various accounting and valuation literature in deriving its position on this topic. The literature includes, but is not limited to, SAB Topic 4(d), ASC 505-50 and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, referred herein as "The Guide". The Company believes it has properly disclosed the accounting effects of the transaction in relation to how the financial statements will be effected. The Company elected not to disclose the value of the shares, but rather only the obligation that the Company was under to issue the shares along with the financial statement accounting effect, as the Company believes the measurement date had not been reached when the auditor’s report dated June 22, 2011 was issued. Further, the Company believes disclosing the $1.50 value of the shares, at that time, would have been misleading to the reader as the IPO price is not finalized until the registration statement is effective which it was not upon the S-1 filing on June 23, 2011 (See the Guide, Chapter 9, paragraphs 112 and 113).
Regarding the $1.50 valuation of the shares issued for services in June 2011, the Company is of the position that the share issuance should be valued at $0.16 as opposed to the anticipated $1.50 IPO price. It should be noted that the last sale of the Company's common stock occurred late October 2010 at $0.16 per share. The Company reviewed the above stated literature when considering the June 8, 2011 share issuance for services and concluded that intervening events occurred prior to the $1.50 estimated IPO price and initial filing of the registration statement (See the Guide Chapter 9, paragraph 113). The 7,216,365 shares were originally to be issued to Churchill & Associates ("C&A") per an agreement dated August 3, 2010 (3,333,333 upon entering the contract and the remainder upon the Company filing a Registration Statement) which has been filed as an exhibit to this registration statement. The Company initially recorded the 3,333,333 shares it was obligated to issue C&A at $0.16 and recorded a prepaid which was being amortized to expense over the one-year term of the August 2010 contract. Based on events out of the Company's control, this agreement was terminated, as such, the Company removed the remaining unamortized prepaid and related stock issuance to C&A, and the Company entered into an agreement with Jersey Fortress Capital Partners ("Jersey") to continue the Company's efforts of filing a Registration Statement. It was agreed upon by all parties that the shares that were previously to be issued to C&A, would now be granted to Jersey per the terms of June 2011 agreement which is attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. At the time the Company entered into the C&A and also the Jersey agreement and based on historical results, the Company's best estimate of fair value, based on the best information available at the time, was $0.16. The Company's belief is that the $1,154,618 valuation for services based on $0.16 per share is a more accurate reflection of the transaction and its related valuation as opposed to $10,824,548 based on the per share amount of $1.50. Had a different approach been contemplated, the share quantity would have been drastically reduced. Value added activities and intervening events have occurred throughout 2010 and 2011 that have added to the $1.50 IPO price none of which was more substantial than the Registration Statement and the IPO itself.
We thank you for your consideration and assistance regarding this matter. Please do not hesitate to call me at (212) 752-9700 if you have any questions.

We note the registration statement pertains to a combined primary and secondary offering of common stock, the primary offering will be conducted by the company’s officers and directors, and that these individuals are also identified as selling shareholders. Please expand the discussion on the cover page and in the plan of distribution section to clarify whether the primary offering will be completed prior to the beginning of the secondary offering. Alternatively, please consider providing two separate prospectuses or the filing of alternate pages reflecting the respective offerings in the next amendment.

In addition, the Registration Statement has been revised to address the other comments above. Please see the cover page of the Registration Statement.

Risk Factors – General
10. Please expand the risk factor section to include risk factors specifically addressing:

Your accountant’s going concern opinion;
●
Potential product liability claims; and
●
The lack of independent directors and related corporate governance issues and potential risks to shareholders.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised to include the risk factors requested. Please see pages 6 and 10 of the Registration Statement.
11. We note you may be substantially dependent upon one or more third parties to conduct your research and clinical studies. If you are, please add a risk factor to address this fact. Also, please file copies of these agreements as exhibits and discuss them in greater detail in your business section. If you do not believe that you are substantially dependent upon these agreements, please provide an analysis supporting your determination. See Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company is not substantially dependent on any one particular third party to carry out its research and clinical studies, as it follows a standard outsourcing model which involves outsourcing a number of its key research and development activities. It is not reliant on any one particular company to carry out all of its activities. As such, we believe that the requested risk factor is not necessary.
“Our ability to continue as a going concern…,” page 4
Comment 12. Please expand the discussion to quantify the amount of losses you have incurred in each of the past two years and the amount of your accumulated deficit. In addition, please disclose that as of March 31, 2011, you only had $54 in cash.
Response: The relevant risk factor has been revised in response to this comment. Please see page 5 of the Registration Statement.
“Because we will need to finance our future cash needs through securities offerings…,” page 4

In order to minimize any potential risk, the Company intends to source its key components from at least two suppliers at any given time.

Comment 23. Please expand the discussion to explain the significance, if any, of your supply of unlicensed medicine to treat patients at the Dove Clinic, including potential legal and liability ramifications, if any.
Response: The Registration Statement has been revised to state that the Company’s management believes that there will be no ramifications from the supply of unlicensed medicine to the Dove Clinic. In the United Kingdom, an unlicensed relevant medicinal product may only be supplied in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1 of the The Medicines for Human Use (Marketing Authorisations) Regulations 1994 [SI 1994/3144], (the MA Regs.). Schedule 1 exempts relevant medicinal product which is supplied to fill a "special need" from the need for a marketing authorization, provided that such supply is in response to a bona fide unsolicited order, formulated in accordance with the specification of a doctor, dentist or supplementary prescriber and for use by his individual patients on his direct responsibility. The supply of the unlicensed medicine to the Dove Clinic was in compliance with Schedule 1. Please see page 16 of the Registration Statement.
Comment 24. Since Dr. Kenyon is the Medical Director of the Dove Clinic, please tell us why you did not sell the medicine directly to the Dove Clinic.
Response: The Company did not sell the medicine directly to The Dove Clinic Limited because the Company was formed after supply of the medicine was undertaken by the Dove Clinic. The supply of the unlicensed medicine to patients continued over a period of eighteen months. During this period, the Company was formed on the basis that it would develop and commercialize the technology based on the clinic results observed by Dr. Kenyon at the Dove Clinic after treating a number of advanced cancer patients in his clinic under the UK Specials License Scheme.
