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.

This project uses interactive, web-based visual explainers to make complex cancer statistics easier to understand. Created with input from cancer experts, patients, and the public, these tools complement the Australian Cancer Atlas by linking data to real stories, helping to raise awareness, inform decisions, and improve cancer outcomes across Australia.
Your donation funds groundbreaking cancer research for Queenslanders.
Cancer Epidemiology explores the patterns and drivers of cancer within populations, addressing complex concepts such as cancer prevalence, incidence and excess mortality. For non-specialists, these terminologies and concepts can be difficult to understand and can form a barrier to effective communication and engagement. We seek to use visual explainers to translate complex epidemiological data into clear, accessible and visually engaging content.
We have developed a series of interactive, web-based visual explainers to complement the Australian Cancer Atlas to make some of the more complex cancer statistics more accessible for the broader public, cancer patients, caregivers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals. Our visual explainers were made in collaboration with leading cancer experts and epidemiologists, and each visual explainer is drafted through a peer-review process that includes consultation with cancer patients, donors, and members of the public.
Understanding and addressing the patterns of cancer disparity identified by The Australian Cancer Atlas is critical for improving cancer outcomes across Australia. Visual explainers link population statistics to real stories of cancer patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, to better communicate how cancer impacts individuals in the community. By doing so, they are designed to enhance awareness, support evidence-based decision-making, and ultimately contribute to improved cancer outcomes across Australia.
