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.
Within two research streams – Cancer Epidemiology, and Cancer Prevention and Survivorship – we conduct research to better understand cancer outcomes and reduce disparities, to prevent cancer and facilitate early detection, to improve the lives of those impacted by cancer, including children, and to facilitate information sharing that will lead to better health for all.
Aims to understand how to improve health behaviours and systems to reduce cancer risk and increase participation in cancer screening that would support detection of cancer early.
Aims to better understand the experiences and support needs of those impacted by cancer, identify gaps in service availability, and to identify, evaluate and translate supportive care services that can improve the health of all Queenslanders impacted by cancer.
Aims to maintain and expand the data within the Australian Childhood Cancer Registry (a comprehensive national clinical databank that contains information on every child diagnosed with cancer in Australia since 1983) and conduct projects using this unique data asset to improve outcomes for children with cancer.
Aims to effectively communicate the burden of cancer in the community and its impact on individuals and support an evidence-based approach to reducing disparities and improving cancer outcomes.
Aims to improve awareness and understanding of variation in cancer outcomes, quantify the geographical and social factors associated with variation in cancer outcomes, and to identify potential strategies that when implemented could reduce cancer health disparities.
