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.

My research offers unique insights into cancer-related health systems and behaviour change, providing an essential element in tackling the complex challenges of improving cancer prevention, screening, and support.
The most significant influence in shaping my approach to work has been my experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, such as the Bowel Cancer Screening Alliance. Working alongside policymakers, clinicians, consumers, epidemiologists, implementation experts, and other health professionals has really highlighted the value of diverse perspectives and expertise in addressing complex health challenges. These collaborations have shaped my focus on translating research into practical, evidence-based solutions that can drive meaningful change in cancer prevention and support.
