Get involved and help Queenslanders living with cancer by volunteering. Volunteers are the heart of our organisation. Join us to make a greater impact and connect with like-minded people.
Every contribution helps support those living with cancer. Whether a one-off donation or monthly gift, your support ensures funding stability for long-term goals and future generations.
Leave a legacy by including a gift in your Will, starting a tribute page for a loved one, or funding a research grant for early-career cancer researchers driving clinical innovations.
Organise a fundraising event in your community, either as a team or an individual. You can join one of our existing fundraising events or you might like to come up with your own way.
When organisations work together, we can have a greater impact for every Queenslander going through cancer and help amplify our message for all Australians.
However you get involved, you’re making a direct impact on the lives of Queenslanders affected by cancer. See the results of what we’ve all achieved.
When you donate to fund cancer research, you invest in a brighter future for Queenslanders with cancer.
Cancer Council Queensland is committed to ensuring no Queenslander faces cancer alone. We’re also dedicated to investing in lifesaving, local research to better detect and treat cancer.
Your generous donations help us support the brightest minds in cancer research. Together, we can fund local research that drives global breakthroughs. We make this possible by directly funding early career researchers who are on the front-line of clinical innovations in cancer detection and treatment.
Contributions go towards world-class research, prevention programs and support service.
The Cancer Council Queensland Next Generation Cancer Research Fellowships replace our Accelerating Collaborative Cancer Research Grants scheme and are focused on funding early career cancer researchers who are on the front-line of clinical innovations and breakthroughs in cancer detection and treatment.
Our inspiring fellowship recipients are creating hope and innovating in a way that could change the future for a number of people with cancer. Here are the doctors at the front line of cancer research.
Dr Masud from The University of Queensland is conducting cancer research focused on developing a device which, using nanoengineered structures, aims to make it possible to detect early-stage ovarian cancer within two hours at a GP clinic.
Dr Jasmin Straube from QIMR Berghofer is researching vulnerabilities in leukemic stem cells carrying poor prognostic mutations. Her work will play a critical role in improving outcomes for patients with myeloid blood cancer.
Dr Mathias Seviiri, also from QIMR Berghofer, is tackling the complex landscape of skin cancer. His research aims to unravel the complex relationships between genetics, treatment responses, and adverse events in patients undergoing treatment for melanoma and keratinocyte cancers.
In addition to making the next big breakthrough possible, your contribution will also be recognised with:
